The Cerrigydrudion Crown, 405-380 BCE.
The Cerrigydrudion Crown is one of the earliest examples of Celtic art from Britain. In 1924, a farmer found a stone-lined grave while repairing a wall near Cerrigydrudion, north-east Wales. It contained fragments of decorated bronze. Originally, archaeologists thought it was a hanging bowl. However, now we think it is part of a headpiece, decorated with palm leaf and lotus flower designs.
