Pilfering is against the law, you know. Besides, there's probably Ancestral Ghosts or Skeletons in there or something.
And if it's the Motierre crypt... well, let's just say you better be able to Turn Undead.

Thank you for the kind words; I enjoy creating things on the dark side, and it is reflected in my music, drawings, paintings, and photographs, each in their own varying aspect. I surround myself with these things and it makes me happy.
I'm glad you and others are inspired to create your own works, to me that is the greatest compliment!

i've enjoyed a few cocktails and gotten lost in
the world that motts reveals to us! but really,
i am more drunk on how beautiful this gallery
is, and how the photography just keeps getting better and better, unbelievably.
This is my favorite shot ever! It is like a
beautiful trompe-leoile painting. If i could
paint canvasses as good as mott's
fotos i would stop painting!
The subject matter is stunning, but your shots
make more of them than i think anyone but you
could imagine or achieve really! it is really
incredible. I love the story of how you
practically stumble onto this fantastic little
place too..
motts, i have always wondered what
influence your photography has had on
your musical life/endeavors, and vice versa,or just in general how you are affected by
multiple artforms or crosspollination of
mediums?
for me your work seems to trigger multiple
points of cultural/artisic references,
simultaneously, without being subject to
any of them.That is alot harder than it sounds, to pull off as you must know! And for myself, like all of the
best art, it makes me want to create again myself. In other words, inspirational.
these shots are just fuckin Grand....

Does anyone know the exact name of the town that this crypt is in? I would love to know.

That would actually be the rotting remains of the cloth covered exterior coffin. The lead inner coffin is about all that's left. Termites, or some other wood eating pest have had a field day over the centuries.
Most likely, there were some interesting decorations on the outer coffin that some idiot decided to "liberate" many years ago.

I think it is possible, they have been forgotten. Otherwise, wouldnt it have been cleaned, or swept, items straightened, etc, I would if it was my family place, and I knew about it. Just like now when a person goes and picks the weeds around a headstone, puts in flowers maybe, brushes off the flat-level stones in the ground.....Obviously, no one has been there for quite sometime.
The square cutout in the box would have been a viewing window, would it not? I personally think I would be totally enamored and saddened by finding this and done what I could to tidy it up a bit. Would have tried to find the nameplate or small decoration that is missing from that other close-up pic. I also, like to think I would never touch the viewing portal, but then again, might be tempted since that is in essence what it was for, though by family. But in taking over just a little upkeep, even if temporary, I would sort of associate myself with that family and its history. I would be living at the historical society or library, town hall, etc trying to figure out the who's, what's, where's, and whatnots of that family line as far to the present as possible. I love history, archeology, and the like, so when I get drawn to something or someone, I sorta get cramped vision as to anything else, until the curiosity is fulfilled.
Sorry so long, didnt intend it to be, I swear it!

I wonder who lies within that coffin. So much history is contained in that room.
