This print showcases a remarkable pair of Celtic Bronze Bulls, dating back to the 1st century BC - 1st century AD. These exquisite artifacts were most likely used as mountings for a chariot-spoke, representing the intricate craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the ancient Celts. Discovered within an earthwork at Bulbury Camp, near Poole Harbour in Dorset, England, these bulls provide a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Britain. The location itself holds significant historical importance as a fortified hillfort, further emphasizing the strategic value placed on this region during ancient times.
