Mesolithic mother and baby buried on swan wing - shared by Vince Cholewa, 7 May 2022

One for the hopeless romantics; I know this is too early for even the Early Northern Barbarian list book1/14 but…

“A Mesolithic cemetery of the Ertebølle culture. The cemetry comprises one empty grave, sixteen single burials, two double and one triple burial. Both double burials consist of a female and an infant, perhaps women who died in childbirth. The richest burial of Vedbæk is that of one of the juvenile women, who was buried together with a baby on a swan’s wing.”

A heart touching artistic interpretation of a young woman and her baby son, laid to rest upon a swan's wing, 6,000 years ago in the northern part of the Maglemosen peat bog at Vedbæk in Denmark.
