Handle grimace
Ornamentation of a Celtic beaked jug made of bronze
Date: around 430 BC
Place of discovery: burial mound "Kleinaspergle", Baden-Württemberg
Location: Stuttgart, Württemberg State Museum
The chubby, grimacing face comes from the handle attachment of a Celtic beaked jug made of bronze. The jug was found in the "Kleinaspergle", a Celtic burial mound near Ludwigsburg. Next to it stood an Etruscan bronze vessel whose handle attachments were decorated with very similar satyr masks. Obviously, a Celtic artist was inspired by the exotic faces from the far south.

The medieval interlace patterns of the British Isles are today considered typical of Celtic art, but the "Early Celtic Art" of the Latène period experienced its flowering on the European continent as early as the late 5th century BC.
The motifs on our bookmarks come from sensational finds, mostly from Celtic princely burial mounds. They are printed on imitation rawhide made of strong paper and can be coloured with both crayons and felt-tip pens.
In a protective cover with decorative ribbon, the colourful works of art become a hard-wearing bookmark.
