[gothic-l] Gundestrup (Jutland) in Bavaria

[Bertil Haggman]

This enigmatic bowl has variously been attributed
to the Celts, Goths and Thracians.

Looking at the phalera from Gundestrup and comparing to
ones found in Rawalpindi and on Sark Island in the English
Channel, one could well find a Eurasian link. Where and who
made Gundestrup is not clear. 

The Sark Island cauldrons were found in 1718 and are now
lost but detailed drawings exist.

There could even be Gothic-Indian links. First from India to
the Goths in Thrace, where the cauldron most likely was made,
and thence to Denmark. The deities on the cauldron are
pancultural so the connection to the Celts is very questionable.

Gothically

No! as stated in the article it is believed to be a celtic-thrachian work.
It is indeed believed to be more thrachian than celtic because of
silver-smith techniques used in the work.

soelvkar med reliefbilleder, som i 1891 blev fundet i Rævemorsen nær 
Aars i Himmerland."
