Mikulovice,
1880 to 1750 BC
A woman from Mikulovice
Silikon, Kombinovaná technika
The woman chosen to portray the figure died at the age of around 35 and came from an upper social class of the Early Bronze Age. Her grave is the richest female grave of the so-called Úneat archaeological culture and one of the richest in Europe at the time. The buried woman had a total of five bronze bracelets, three bronze pins, two gold earrings and, above all, a beautiful three-row amber necklace consisting of more than 400 beads and at least five so-called dividers. Accurate anthropological reconstruction was possible thanks to well and almost completely preserved
skulls of buried women and also thanks to the analysis of archaic DNA. Thanks to this, we know that the woman had light skin, brown hair and eyes.
