Huldremose Woman Collage

I find bog bodies oddly beautiful despite their corpsyness. Something about the process of the bog seeping in and becoming one with the bog is oddly romantic. Maybe thats weird but i had tons of fun making this.

nearly all components come from the extensive collection at Smithsonian Open Access, however the huldremose woman herself was photgraphed by Roberto Fortuna for the online collection of natmus.dk (...)

A Poem For The Huldremose Woman

A peat farmer found you

And first called the police

You you look young and fresh still

The first people in 1,000 years

Washed your clothes

And gave you an unfamiliar burial rite

Until they dug you up again

And shipped you away

To lie under a harsh light

And a glass box

And an information card

And it says that you are a mystery

And you are the questions 

That we didn’t know we had

But you are too rotten to answer us

Your tongue has long been gone

And “I’m sorry” isn’t right

It’s not enough

And there’s nothing to be sorry for

And I can’t end this poem

Because you are still here

#imagine having your body displayed under glass which is something you never saw in life #poety #original poem #original poetry #my poetry #poems #spilled ink #huldremose woman

i am so tired of laundry and making meals every day i want to be a bog body

#thinking about the huldremose woman and her immaculately preserved clothes #don't have to do laundry if you're being preserved in a bog #i said things #i am evidently not feeling my best today

What country is the fashion that you post from? And why is there nothing from like the 1500s for example? Did the garments not survive?

Hi Anon! I post fashions from all over the world. There's a strong focus on Western fashion, due to the resources I have and my own knowledge, but we venture out every so often.

There are pre-18th century items that have survived, but they're definitely in the minority. Even then, they tend to be either religious garments or related to nobility/royalty in some fashion. Our ancestors were real big on reusing everything they could due to necessity, which means what's left are things from people who didn't need to remake their garments all the time.

A couple older things that have survived are:

This Late 16th Century Ensemble from Spain

This c.1330-1350 English Chasuble

The Golden Gown of Queen Margarete of Denmark

And then there's Huldremose Woman, a roughly 2000 year old bog body with extremely well preserved clothing (Courtesy Warning: while the link I provided does not show any images of the woman herself, there are images of her if you explore the other sections of the unit)

Mummified Bodies

Throughout northern Europe, a small population known as the bog people continue to offer unbelievable insight into ancient life. It consists of around 500 skeletons dating back to 800 B.C. and 200 A.D that were discovered at the bottom of numerous bogs.

The mummified bodies are almost perfectly preserved — eyebrows and all — allowing modern science to discover never before known details about their origins.

Farmers began discovering the preserved bodies in the 1800s. Bogs are acidic and low on oxygen, which preserves human skin, hair, clothes and stomach contents exceptionally well.

Plus the bogs’ accumulated layers of dead moss seal everything in.

The most famous of the bodies is the “Tollund Man.” Found in 1950 on Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula, the man is so well-preserved that he still has his five o’clock shadow.

Found with a rope around his neck, scholars think the man was a human sacrifice rather than a hanged criminal because of his body position and calm facial expression.

Originally thought to be lowly criminals or commoners, new chemical tests are putting that theory into question. Research shows that the bog people traveled long distances and had clothes that were made in foreign lands.

One of the bodies, known as the “Huldremose Woman,” wore clothes that were dyed blue and red and, possibly, had a ring on one of her fingers. Having dyed clothes and jewelry were signs of wealth — an interesting note in unveiling her true identity.

With new developments in strontium isotope testing technology, researchers are now studying the subjects’ hair to learn about their travel records. The results of these tests are still unpublished, but early indications are clear: The bog people traveled, a lot.

Now, the real question is who they were and why they died — wealthy travelers, affluent traders, or something even more important? This question may never be answered, but with more scientific clues being unearthed, researchers are excited to learn as much as they can about these mysterious people.

I'm trawling Facebook for news for next week and I see a bog body preservation of 2000 year old tartan and this dude was like "this is what peat performance looks like" and I thought it was a bit funny so I liked the comment... With the newspaper's account. Anyway for anyone interested the clothes are on display, it's the huldremose woman discovered in 1879 near Ramten in Denmark, and it's incredibly well preserved.

clothes can be preserved but it depends on the type of bog as well, iirc. the huldremose woman in denmark is the best example i can provide of bog bodies with clothes

So what I'm getting from this is that Will's dad's dismembered pickled corpse could be naked if I wanted it to be. Excellent. I just want this day to suck as much as possible for Will.

...Also it occurs to me that if Will dismembered the corpse it probably wouldn't have been wearing clothes anyway. It would be a bit of a challenge to dismember a corpse and dump it in a bog without it losing any clothes.

#bog body au #there is something deeply entertaining about the added insult to injury #that is will's dad being naked when the body is discovered #there are LAYERS of 'no one wants to see that' here
