The jewelry looks suspiciously fresh, just cleaned, or right out of the workshop. Are the designs of the period? The first photo of the skull looks like the guy was fifteen feet tall, with great dental work. Maybe there were 'giants in those days'.

I've seen the "same" type thing in Germany, displayed in churches in glass coffins/ enclosures.Sometimes more than one body. you could walk right up next to the coffin for viewing. most were bishops or higher ups in the church. fabulously adorned. the glass paneled coffins were also adorned with gold leaf, carvings etc. I have some pics I took when I was there but that was in the film age.
