Sheepskin coat (5th c. BC), Osterode

Beitragvon Kelvin Wilson » 19.07.2006 10:11

Does anyone have more information on a coat sewn together from four sheepskins (with the wool on the inside), in which the body of a teenage girl was deposited in the 5th century BC? Place: Dröbnitz bog near Osterode. Formerly kep in the Prussia Museum in Königsberg, and published in Marija Gimbutas' "The Balts" (1963).

I have photographs of the in- and outside of the coat (or what it looks like more: mantle)... if someone could help me post them on this forum, I will send them on!

Danke,

Great, great, Sylvia! I have the book (in fact, the reconstruction drawing of the Emmer-Erfscheidenveen man is mine... I remember having photos taken of myself in my underwear to get the figure right!) yet hadn't realised it contains so much information! The comb, the repairs... it's all there!

Thanks :-)
