People still carve wooden figures. These were found in 1836 on Arthur's Seat, and I've carved these things myself many times from childhood to recent times. It was only recently when they featured in a Rebus episode they went back on display, I think. I knew what they were immediately, even though the ones I've made never had the coffins.
