The oak coffin grave was in the middle of the bottom of the mound, covered by some stones, but the coffin itself was not preserved. Skrydstruppigen has been lying in the coffin on a cowhide, was wearing a shirt with half-length sleeves and otherwise wrapped in and covered with woolen, woven clothing.
Next to the head lay an artful hat made in jumping technique, but the strangest thing was the hair set-up, a high-set "rococo-like" hairstyle, which it must have taken several hours and required help to put on. Around each ear sat a gold ring.
The hairstyle, the gold rings, the oak coffin and the burial mound tell us that Skrydstruppigen belongs to a socially, well-off family. Here by Hærvejen, it seems that the families who lived here took the lead in the long-distance trade with the southern countries with fur and amber and with bronze and gold.
The find has been exhibited at the National Museum in Copenhagen, while Haderslev Museum has had copies of the costume made. The former Vojens Municipality has also erected a bronze statue of its old city child at the western end of Vestergade in Vojens.
A sign from the road from Vojens - Over Jerstal shows the way to the mound.
