This work attempts to capture the dichotomy of national identity, both positive and negative. In a literal sense the metaphor is clear: it is both preserving and restricting, reminiscent of Egyptian burial techniques. The work is held the IOM National Collection of Manx National Heritage.

Media: Mixed, galvanised steel and textile.

Dimensions: Approximately 1.9 x 0.75 metres
