Bog Bodies of the Iron Age

Tollund Man
400-300 B.C.
Found in Aarhus, Denmark in 1950
He is renowned, even beloved, for the gentle expression on his impeccably preserved face. The noose around his neck makes clear that, like other Iron Age bog bodies, he was killed, but following the violent act he was carefully laid in a restful pose, like a sleeping child.
