The Gerum Cloak is a nearly intact brown woolen cloak dating from 360-100 BC that was found in a peat bog on Gerumsberget plateau, Västergötland, Sweden in 1920. The cloak is oval shaped and has a few small holes in it, mainly around the bottom edge. The biggest of these was made by Johan Fredrik Klasson with his shovel when he was digging in the bog and found the cloak. The cloak is notable not only for its age and how well it was preserved, but for the Houndstooth pattern in which it was woven. When the cloak was found in the bog, it was folded with three stones lying on top of it.

- Gerumsmanteln är ett klädesplagg daterad till 360-100 f Kr, en del av förromersk järnålder. Den hittades 1920 i uppe på Gerumsberget i Östra Gerums socken i Tidaholms kommun i Västergötland, ihopvikt och lagd under tre stenar. Manteln är tillverkad med naturfärgad brun respektive vit ulltråd, men har färgats av vattnet i mossen den legat i. Tidigare antogs att den var från bronsåldern. De små stickhålen i manteln har gett upphov till teorin att mantelns siste ägare blev mördad. (sv)

| - The Gerum Cloak is a nearly intact brown woolen cloak dating from 360-100 BC that was found in a peat bog on Gerumsberget plateau, Västergötland, Sweden in 1920. The cloak is oval shaped and has a few small holes in it, mainly around the bottom edge. The biggest of these was made by Johan Fredrik Klasson with his shovel when he was digging in the bog and found the cloak. The cloak is notable not only for its age and how well it was preserved, but for the Houndstooth pattern in which it was woven. When the cloak was found in the bog, it was folded with three stones lying on top of it. The cloak was originally made of white and brown wool, but it all became brown after having been in the bog for so long. A replica is on display in Falbygden's Museum in Falköping, while the original is stored in the Historical Museum in Stockholm. The cloak has a breadth of 248 cm (8 feet 1.64 inches) and a height of 200 cm (6 feet 6.74 inches). Given the holes in the cloak, it is believed that the wearer was stabbed, possibly to death. However, this gives rise to some uncertainty as the cloak was found folded and no human remains were found with it or nearby. Through measuring the strontium isotope system of the wool and dye, it is believed that the wool came from sheep who grazed and lived in the area south west of Torpa stenhus. The wool was not from the local area around where the cloak was found on Gerumsberget, but at least 45 miles southwest. (en)

Den ovala manteln, 248 cm x 200 cm är vävd i ullgarn på tre eller fyra skaft i ett smårutigt mönster (liknande hundtand) av kypertkaraktär, vilket förvånat många, då kyperten ansågs ha ett senare datum för spridning till Norden. De små stickhålen i manteln har gett upphov till teorin att mantelns siste ägare blev mördad. Originalet förvaras hos Historiska museet i Stockholm och är inventariefört som SHM 16719. En reproduktion av manteln visas på Falbygdens museum i Falköping. (sv)
