Mammen chamber tomb

The Mammen area was the finding site of the famous and rich Mammen chamber tomb; a Viking Age chamber tomb, complete with the remains and offerings of a wealthy magnate burial in the winter of 970-71 AD. The tomb was opened in 1868, when a farmer began digging away at the mound of Bjerringhøj.^[3] At about the same time, a hoard was unearthed close by in a gravel quarry.^[4] The various objects of both finds later gave name to the so-called Mammen style, an art phase typical of Scandinavia. The objects are displayed at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.^[5]

Reconstructed attire and objects from the Mammen chamber tomb and hoard. The golden chest is a replica of the lost Cammin Chest and not from this find, but crafted in the Mammen style.
Silver adorned iron axe, probably a ceremonial weapon.
