Gundestrup Cauldron
A richly decorated silver cauldron found dismantled in a peat bog at Gundestrup in Himmerland, Jutland, in 1891. Its silver plates show gods, warriors, a horned figure holding a torc, and a great cauldron into which a figure is being lowered, imagery with strong links to Celtic and Thracian art. It was probably made in the southeast of Europe and carried north, then taken apart and offered to the bog as a sacrificial gift. The cauldron is kept in the National Museum of Denmark and is among the most famous objects of Iron Age Europe.
