This little mummy will transform into some kind of butterfly. At the moment it´s helpless, cocooned into itself, can philosophize about life and death and has to wait to become a higher being than it´s former shape. At this stage it´s not for sure that there´ll be a transformation, it´s somewhat uncertain, at least for the mummy. But that something´ll happen is visible from the outside. All that matters is the perspective. Who wants to know, doesn´t always know these things that help to relax a little bit (that´s a shame!). And who doesn´t care, because other stuff is more important does look with virgin eyes and hidden things are visible, even it isn´t significant at the moment.
I did always wonder, if egyptian mummies are in a metamorphosis …
