The ancient Greek writer, Diodorus, writing circa. 20
B.C. commented about the astonishing Celtic religious practice of safely
and freely depositing gold offerings such as the Frasnes-lez-Buissenal
hoard in temples and other sacred sites.
Nervii tribal hoard
Although no provenance is provided for this Celtic gold ring, it is dated to 400-300 B.C. (early La Tene period). Part of a trio of gold rings, the ring has a ram's head motif similar to the gold torc found in the Nervii tribal hoard. The Nervii were one of the most powerful Belgic tribes; living in northern Gaul at the time of its conquest by Rome.
Again, sadly this iron/copper alloy sword and scabbard
has no provenance. Dated late La Tene period at 60 B.C. the museum
believes that the hilt depicts a warrior; however, ther figure is just
as likely to depict a deity.
