Answer:
It was used as a burial ship for the two women whose bodies were discovered along with the ship.
Explanation:
In a large burial mound at Vestfold county in Norway, a ship was discovered which turned out to be a Viking ship. It had been so well preserved along with the two bodies discovered in its mast. Along with the ship, carved animal heads in perfect condition were also discovered. This ship from the Viking Era was used as a burial ship for the two women, as is the custom of that era to bury their dead. The dead body is kept in ships and given grave offerings after which the ship will be piled over by stones and soil to make a tumulus. Tumulus are the mounds of graves, which must have been one of such in which this Oseberg ship was found. Now, this Oseberg ship is put for public viewing at the Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy on the western side of Oslo, Norway.
