#FindsFriday #Celtic: `Three-dimensional depictions of animals appeared on all sorts of every-day objects. Small statues were also common, and were all skilfully cast using the lost-wax technique. Large game animals such as boars, stags and roe-deer, horses and oxen were preferred subjects. The simplified style of these ornaments often makes it impossible to identify the exact species portrayed. Line drawings, while much less common, use the same stylised depictions of these animals.`
