1. Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻#FairyTaleTuesday: `One of the genuinely pan-European elements in La Tène art is the dragon-pair motif, which is found on the upper end of the front-plate of #Celtic scabbards from south-eastern Britain to the Balkans, with further examples from south of the Alps and Iberia (Stead, 1984, Megaw 2004, Megaw and Megaw 1989, Ginoux 1995).
Comprising a pair of opposed S-shapes with zoomorphic heads facing inwards,
the beasts represented are highly schematic, and have sometimes been thought
of as griffons rather than dragons.`
