Oak coffin found in 1861 in Trindhøj, west of Kolding, Jutland. This grave was occupied by a light-haired, clean shaven young man. He was buried with his belongings: a comb, a razor and a spare cap in a bark box. A jerkin was wrapped around his body. He had a woven belt ending in tassels around his waist and a round cap on his head. On his feet he had shoes cut out of a four-sided piece of leather. The feet were wrapped up in a woolen cloth so that the shoes should not chafe. In cold weather the man could have kept himself warm with a large, round cut cape of fine, closely woven wool. Measurements of the growth rings of the wood of the coffin show that the burial took place around the year 1356BC.

Notes:

The cloak is a yellowish tan color (originally white?), with a decorative edge on the side: app. 10 rows, top: app. 5 rows and stings, bottom strings only. The jerkin is dark brown (possibly originally grey?), as are the ankle wrappings. The cap is greyish black (same color as the wood), as are all the caps of this type. His secondary cap is tan colored, darker then the cloak (app. as original color?). The large bark vessel containing the second cap is around 20cm in diameter, and the smaller one, which contains a comb and razor is around 10cm.
