An amazing find.....more pics and description in French here. You can also enlarge the photos by clicking on them. www.limousin.culture.gouv...tignac.htm<br>
<br>
Some key bits:-<br>
-c 500 objects<br>
-c 10 swords, most which would have had wooden pommels but one of bronze<br>
-4 spears<br>
-1 Celtic shield umbo<br>
-9 helmets, 8 of bronze and one of iron with bronze sheathing. One unique one with a swan's neck and head, and the neck guard being the swan's tail (possibly a parallel helmet illustrated in Junkelmann's Turnierwaffen)<br>
-Bronze boars and animal standards (with glass eyes)<br>
-5 carnynxes<br>
-And an Asterix-style iron cauldron!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
