The objects are decorated in the so-called mommy style ; Details of the decoration of the textile remnants can be found on the costumes on the Bayeux Tapestry .

Grave content

A silver inlaid ax is one of the accessories . There were also several embroidered and decorated pieces of textile. These include purple-dyed silk remains , twill fabric , madder- dyed fabric, ribbon remnants from tablet weaving and a piece of cloth with an ornament that can be interpreted as a stylized lion's head. The silk remains are evidence of extensive trade relations.

Employees at the Danish National Museum have used the findings to reconstruct a costume in which the various weaving techniques were reproduced.
