This gown was found by divers off the coast of the Dutch island of Texel in August 2014. It is now on display, along with the other recovered treasures, “in the Kaap Skil mueum on Texel, where they will stay for a month before being examined fully by archaeologists.” (from the report in The Daily Mail, April 19, 2016)
