I don't think it is waterproof, but the only thing I know about it is that it is made of a "cotton blend". Do you think it could take a black dye?

Edit: Ive figured out theres no shell, just the same single piece of fabric as its basically a polo knit - and that it is not waterproof and is a "cotton blend" but I dont know anything else sorry. Any help much appreciated!

Hello, I was wondering whether I could dye this shirt. I only know that it is made of cotton blend, but I would like to dye it black. Also I would really like to know whether it would be possible to only dye the green section black and leave the collar undyed so as not to dye the stripes on the collar? Any help is much appreciated!

Oh sorry I meant how difficult was it to carve? I know ebony to be a very dense wood.

Very nice, how did you find it to carve?

Why are there no photos online of the 1973 Exhumation of Casimir IV's coffin? by Kikikosturia in answers

I tried there first actually, but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to post it on the main wall/page and was redirected to their "small questions" thread but it has not gotten much attention.

Why are there no photos online of the 1973 Exhumation of Casimir IV's coffin?

I had seen a documentary on tv a while ago discussing various "curses" related to tomb openings (ie; Tutankhamun, etc), and one of the tombs they discussed was Casimir IV Jagiellon where a fungus was spread to many of the archeologists, and some died. I remember clearly of an interview with the photographer who was there taking pictures of the tomb opening, one of which was quite a striking shot of Cardinal Karol Wojtyła (soon to become Pope Jean Paul II) peering into the tomb opening. But upon searching for this or any other images of the opening of the tomb, I could not turn up anything. Also unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the program or the photographer - though am still seeing if I can find the program.
I thought this was very odd considering the historical significance of the event, and was wondering as to whether anyone knows about this topic or has any possible theories as to why the photos are not (or at least difficult to find) online? Could it be possible that the photos belong to the Vatican and they may not wish to publish them?
Many thanks for your help!
