(For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price.) Ex private South German collection, 1970s. with Hermann Historica, Auction 66, 6 May 2013, no.2363. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.13523-263141. Numerous examples of Celtic helmets adorned with horns are known. Amongst these, there are several parallels for the specific shape of the bull s horn presented here. An interpretation as a helmet ornament therefore appears plausible, especially in view of the size of our object.
