EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Romano-Celtic relief carving depicting the Celtic god Cernunnos. The intricate details of this ancient artifact, discovered in Rhiems, France, provide a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic traditions of the Celts. Cernunnos, known as the horned god, is prominently featured in this relief. His majestic presence is accentuated by his antlered head and serene sitting posture. Symbolizing fertility and abundance, he holds great significance in Celtic mythology. The surrounding elements further enrich the composition. A rat can be seen at Cernunnos' feet, representing its association with his cult. Additionally, both a bull and deer are depicted nearby, emphasizing their importance within Celtic symbolism. The vibrant colors used in this relief add depth to its visual impact. Each hue carefully chosen to enhance our understanding of these ancient deities and their sacred realm. As we admire this extraordinary piece of artistry from Champagne-Ardenne region's rich heritage, it reminds us of the enduring power that religion has held throughout history. This relic serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion to higher powers like Apollo or Mercury who were also worshipped alongside Cernunnos. Preserved through time by dedicated individuals such as CM Dixon and Mike Dixon (not associated with any commercial use), this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Celtic culture.
