CHAPTER IV
PAGAN CELTIC ART IN THE EARLY IRON AGE
GENERAL NATURE OF THE MATERIALS AVAILABLE FOR THE STUDY
OF THE DECORATIVE ART OF THE EARLY IRON AGE IN
GREAT BRITAIN
The materials available for the study of Late-Celtic art in this
country may be classified as follows:—
METALWORK.
Arms of Offence and Defence.
Horse-trappings.
Chariot Fittings.
Personal Ornaments.
Toilet Appliances.
Domestic Appliances.
Musical Instruments.
Objects for Religious Use.
Objects of Unknown Use.
POTTERY AND GLASS.
Sepulchral Urns.
Vessels for Domestic Use.
Beads for Necklaces.
WOODWORK AND BONEWORK.
Vessels for Domestic Use.
Dress-fasteners.
Spatulæ.
STONEWORK.
Sculptured Monuments.
The arms of offence and defence of the Late-Celtic period are made of
metal; the sword-blades, dagger-blades, and lance-heads being of iron;
and the sword-sheaths, dagger-sheaths, shields, and helmets of bronze.
In this country the bronze objects only are ornamented.[187]
[187] A lance-head of iron from La Tène, in Switzerland, is ornamented
with engraved patterns, but nothing of a similar kind has been found in
Great Britain (E. Vouga, _Les Helvètes à La Tène_, pl. 5).
