Dated back to approximately 50 BC, this ancient artifact provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Celts during prehistoric times. The Dejbjerg Wagon, a masterpiece of metalwork, showcases the advanced craftsmanship of the Celtic artisans of central Europe. Its ornate design, featuring intricate patterns and elaborate decorations, underscores the importance of this carriage in the society of that era.
