Challenge 823: The bishop's box
I was intrigued by this carved wooden box found in a church in France. Of particular interest is the bible and mitre carved on top. But what might this box contain? Why does it have air holes? And can you think of any other ecclesiastical items of carved wood that might also adorn the lid? High res is here.  |

Just to remind you all that Steve is still using the Kodak Brownie 127 he was given as a kid. |

Thanks dwindt... I had made an animation, but after reading Mariner's comment this popped into my head. |

Re: Challenge 823: The bishop's box
Love the mouse Loyd and the lovely lighting too. I'm puzzled about what this could be used for and, moreover, why the edges do not align with the octagon wooden base. I wonder if the box is designed to rotate given the apparent gap between the darker plinth and the base?? No success on Google, so perhaps Steve could enlighten us. The location may give some clues.

Re: Challenge 823: The bishop's box
Two weeks ago I did a computer game. I thought it was just a one off, but Ingrid and I have been re-playing the House of Da Vinci series and the minute I saw this bizarre box and its setting it just screamed game at me! I spent FAR too long on this but loved every minute .........  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 823: The bishop's box
Would make an ideal collection box Nick. That way the communion can ensure the bishop's head is full of common sense (cents) before all sermons.
Lovely image David. I'm glad to know i'm not the only elderly gamer. My son introduced me to For Honor. A very intense dueling game. In my job, I don't get much time to exercise. This game takes care of that, much to the delight of any on lookers. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 823: The bishop's box
I took this box as a reliquary. Generally they are gold or silver but I have seen wooden ones. Anyway, the bishop only displays his relics once a year and seems today is the day  
Loyd, the mouse is so cute! David, that is exquisite. I'd play that if it was a real game. Must look into the House of Da Vinci game. Haven't heard of that but sounds interesting. http://vimeo.com/457721775 _________________ Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting! |

Re: Challenge 823: The bishop's box
Anna, I wish I could see your video clips at work. They are always very creative. Love the models. Those holes were pretty tricky getting them to keep their shape. Is that a procedural texture or just a wood texture map that you've applied. It's a lovely texture. Well done. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |
