The remarkably preserved bed, described as unparalleled by experts, was excavated from the site of a former Roman cemetery near Holborn viaduct, central London, alongside five oak coffins.
The funerary bed is made from high-quality oak and has carved feet and joints fixed with small wooden pegs. It was dismantled before being laid within the grave of an adult male in his late 20s or early 30s.
