These are awesome! And as you will see, they are possibly related to the subjects of an earlier post on grave robbers Burke and Hare (two postings down).
I found something strangely similar to these little coffins in a box lot at an auction of items from the U.K. It is a small coffin and when you slide the lid open to one side you find a rude carved wooden replica of Hitler. The coffin is about 4 inches long and about an inch wide. His name is written on the lid with the date 1946. Very unusual.
Wow, very cool and interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Troy. I thought the same thing. Creepy and interesting. Visually beautiful too.
