EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable chariot wheel decoration with an intricate openwork border, originating from Saint-Jean-sur-Tourbe in Marne, France. Crafted by Gaulish artisans during the 5th century BC, this bronze masterpiece now resides at the Musee des Antiquites Nationales in St. Germain-en-Laye. The exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient artifact is truly awe-inspiring. The delicate openwork borders add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into the bronze surface, showcasing the immense talent and skill possessed by these Gaulish metalworkers.
