Ellen

Portrait of Ellen, who lived in southern Scandinavia around 3500 years ago, during the period today known as the Bronze age. Her clothing is made from the new, luxurious wool, and has probably been woven abroad. The jewelries are of bronze and gold, and around her neck she wears beads from Baltic amber, as well as glass from ancient Egypt and the Near East. These are all indications that she is a wealthy, high status woman with international relations. Perhaps she travels herself, which so-called strontium isotope analyses of women throughout several places in Europe bear witness of.
