The Celts were the main people of Europe during the Iron Age. They were warlike and shared common religious beliefs. They were skilled metalworkers and made beautiful objects with swirled designs. By 200 B.C. their civilization stretched across much of northern and western Europe. The Celts didn't have a single Empire like the Romans, instead they lived in separate tribes with similar languages, religion and customs. They liked to fight each other almost as much as they liked to fight any non-Celt, which ultimately cost their control of Europe
Age: 200-100 B.C.
Provenance: Previously in the collection of an American gentleman based in London, formed prior to 2000
