Embroidered Garment from Bronze Age Skrydstrup
The Early Bronze Age burial mound of Skrydstrup, southern Jutland, Denmark, has yielded a very early example of needlelace, from the sleeve and neckline of a garment buried together with a young woman in an oak coffin. The burial mound was excavated in 1935 and the remains have been dated to c. 1300 BC.
