Gundestrup cauldron view 2 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Gundestrup cauldron is the largest known example of European Iron Age silver work (diameter 69 cm, height 42 cm). 
The style and workmanship suggest Thracian origin, while the imagery seems Celtic. This has opened room for conflicting theories of Thracian vs. Gaulish origin of the cauldron. Timothy Taylor (Scientific American 1992) has suggested Thracian origin with influence by Indian iconography.

The Gundestrup cauldron is a richly-decorated silver vessel, thought to date to the 1st century BC.
It is now housed at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.
A Replica is to be found among others in Mainz, Römisch-Germanisches-Zentral-Museum (RGZM).
