Discovered in 1927 at Basse-Yutz, France, these two bronze flagons are regarded as some of Europe's most exceptional examples of Early Celtic or Early La Tene Art. The flagons were specifically designed for pouring wine, beer, or mead during grand feasts. The craftsmanship exhibited in this artifact is truly remarkable. Every element has been meticulously crafted and preserved throughout centuries. The handle features a stunning depiction of an animal that appears to be a dog or possibly a wolf, adding an air of mystique and intrigue to these ancient vessels.
