The 4 liter jug from the grave of the “Celtic Prince” comes from Celtic production, but is based on Etruscan models.
The 4 liter jug from the grave of the “Celtic Prince” comes from Celtic production, but is based on Etruscan models.
The tubular jug, made of thin bronze sheet and beautifully decorated with engravings, comes from grave 2 and is of Celtic production.
The half lid made of sheet bronze was originally soldered onto a flat basin with a rounded bottom. This basin had a pouring spout in front of which a strainer insert was attached. Sieve basins with half lids are considered tableware and were probably used to filter out suspended matter such as coarsely chopped spices from wine or beer.
The shiny brass-colored jug owes its good state of preservation to the fact that it survived the centuries in a well over 14 m deep. The handle of the vessel is richly decorated. The mouth of the handle is decorated with a palmette with rolled ends, from which two stylized bird heads develop and lie around the edge of the jug.
The colorless, crystal-clear edge shard comes from a steep-sided glass beaker with a rounded, thickened lip. Just below the edge, the image of a fish swimming to the right is engraved with sweeping lines.
The pear-shaped vessel has a pouring spout in the shape of a phallus that projects upwards at an angle, underneath which are two small, hemispherical testicles. On the opposite side was a face that is only partially preserved. Sturdy handles were attached on both sides.
The large storage vessel had a face on each of two opposite sides. Eyes, mouth, nose, ears and eyebrows were made of thin beads of clay. Small punctures and scratches indicate eyelashes, beard hair and eyebrows. Two phalli were attached between the two faces - also placed three-dimensionally.
This very fine and thin-walled black varnish ceramic was produced exclusively in Trier potteries in the 3rd and 4th centuries and delivered to the Gallic and Germanic provinces. Characteristic of the ceramic genre is a shiny metallic coating and mostly white decorations and inscriptions applied using the barbotine technique.
The shiny red-covered bowl was made in Rheinzabern. It comes from the production of the potter Julis II. A special feature is the chained dog, applied freehand using the barbotine technique, on the wide edge of the bowl.
Cup of the form Dragendorff 30. In the center of the shard there is a female figure in a robe turned to the right, above which the remains of a bearded head looking to the left can be seen.
