The image is highly emotional. The skeleton of the mother and the baby in the womb has not yet been born!

This skeleton is from a museum in Denmark at Æbelholt Abbey, which has been used as a hospital since it was built in 1176 and was replaced by a church in 1560. They excavated a pile of skull bones in the 50s and put them on display.

An article was written about the woman in the pH๏τo. The article said that the woman in the pH๏τo was about 40 years old and was about 8 months pregnant. She had a narrow skeleton, which led to a vitamin D deficiency, which may explain why the baby was in a sitting position rather than upside down as usual. In the article, they also said that they found kidney stones, probably the cause of the woman’s death, the stone is displayed right next to it).
