EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the Early Iron Age with the bog body from Huldremose in Djursland, Denmark, dating back to 100 AD. The woman found preserved in the bog was dressed in a skirt of wool, a scarf, and two fleece capes - showcasing the intricate clothing and textiles of that time period.
Her hair was elegantly tied up with a long woollen cord, adding to her mysterious and ancient appearance. This well-preserved mummy provides valuable insights into the fashion and style of early Scandinavian culture.
The National Museum of Denmark houses this remarkable piece of history, allowing us to connect with our prehistoric ancestors and learn more about their way of life. The checked cloak draped over her body adds an element of intrigue to this already fascinating discovery.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a Nordic landscape filled with metalwork, fabric production, and unique clothing choices. It is truly remarkable how much we can learn from studying these ancient artifacts.
This print serves as a reminder of our rich history and heritage, urging us to appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity of those who came before us.
