Gundestrup Cauldron |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The silver vessel known as the Gundestrup Cauldron is both one of the most magnificent and most enigmatic relics of the Celtic world. It is decorated in raised relief with scenes that provide a glimpse into Celtic myth and religion but whose precise meaning remains elusive. The figures on the outside of the vessel were originally covered with gold leaf, and the eyes set with red or blue glass. | ||||||
