Ca. 200 BC. A rare silver bowl with its conical shape, broad mouth, and flat base. The smooth walls of the bowl are a testament to the skill of the Celtic artisans who created it, with a level of precision and finesse that speaks to their mastery of metalworking. In Iron Age Celtic culture, silver bowls like these served both as functional objects and as symbols of status and wealth. They were often used for drinking and feasting, as well as for ceremonial purposes, such as offerings to the gods. The bowl would have been a prized possession, a symbol of social status and cultural identity, and a reflection of the technological advancements of the time.Size: L:70mm / W:130mm ; 115gProvenance: Private London collection; British art market 1990s.
