  • In 1879 archeologists found the Huldremose Woman whose body was exceptionally well-preserved together with this piece of clothing. It is probably almost 2000 years old and consists of a checked woollen skirt, a checked woollen scarf and two skin capes. The long period in the water of the bog has turned the clothes brown. Colour analysis has shown that originally the skirt was blue and the scarf was a red colour.
