This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Britain - the Horned British Celtic Bronze Helmet. Dating back to the 1st century BC, this helmet was discovered in the depths of the River Thames near Waterloo Bridge in 1868. Its unique feature of horns suggests that it served a more decorative purpose rather than being utilized for combat. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details of this bronze helmet are truly awe-inspiring. The skilled hands of Celtic artisans have left their mark on this piece, which stands as a testament to their artistic prowess and cultural heritage. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring out the beauty and grandeur of this ancient relic.

It serves as a reminder that even amidst battle, artistry and aesthetics held great importance within Celtic society. Preserved through centuries beneath the waters of the River Thames, this helmet now finds itself displayed for all to admire its splendor. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise, we can appreciate every detail up close without disturbing its fragile state.
