Close-up photograph of the preserved head of the Tollund Man, a naturally mummified body found in a Danish peat bog. His eyes are closed and his face appears peaceful, with detailed features and leathery skin preserved by the bog’s conditions. A rope noose is visible around his neck, and he wears a pointed leather cap.
