Last week curator Naomi Speakman introduced you to a Gothic, ivory casket packed to the hinges with different medieval myths and legends. It was, if you will, a “greatest hits” casket. Today, Naomi will show another of these medieval caskets. If the previous one was a greatest hits, this one’s a concept album. A single myth told across the entire body of the casket. And for all you Deadpool fans, there’s a healthy dose of fourth wall breaking.


CONTENT WARNING:
Deadpool does not feature in this video (medieval, fan-produced variant or otherwise). However, there is a splash of comic book towards the end.
