You actually have the shed exoskeletons of two different kinds of dermestid larvae. One looks like it's in the genus Anthrenus and the other one (pair) looks like it's in the genus Trogoderma. No telling how long this skins have been there. It's not unusual to find these protein eaters in a coffin.
