Early Celtic
art, in the Iron Age, was far more abstract and simple than
the later art of the middle ages. This does not mean
that it was not sophisticated - it just reflected a different aesthetic.
This piece is
put together from simple shapes: spirals teardrops and curved-sided
triangles - all part of the 'grammar' of ornament of the
early continental Celts.
The piece is
most often seen as a woman's figure, but can also be seen as
the stylised head of a bull. This attribute of having two ways
of seeing it is a common characteristic of Iron Age
design.
All necklaces can also be
ordered as brooches
