EDITORS COMMENTS
This highly important La Tene warrior fibula captures a captivating moment of confrontation between a youthful naked warrior and an attacking wolf-like hound. The intricate details of this gold artifact, dating back to the 3rd century BC, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Celtic metalwork. The warrior stands defiantly, adorned in a montefortino type helmet and armed with a La Tene shield and scabbard with belt. In his right hand, he holds the pommel and hilt of a sword, resting on an intricately ornamented bow. His gaze meets that of the ferocious hound as they prepare for battle. The ornate design features zoomorphic elements, with teeth-like patterns adorning the clasp of this ancient brooch. This ceremonial piece serves as both jewelry and symbolizes strength in conflict. The snarling beasts depicted on it evoke a sense of fierceness and determination. Every detail is meticulously crafted - from the elaborate depiction of wolves to the decorative embellishments throughout. This fibula showcases not only exquisite artistry but also represents the significance placed on wildlife in Celtic culture. Intriguingly detailed and richly symbolic, this La Tene warrior fibula offers us a glimpse into ancient ceremonies where warriors would confront wild animals like wolves or hounds as part of their rituals or battles. It is truly an extraordinary artifact that speaks volumes about Celtic traditions and their deep connection to nature's untamed beauty.
