凯尔特人男性头像 凯尔特风格,公元前第一千年后期至公元第一千年早期 石雕,刻画了一位男子的头部:短发中分,眼睛圆凸,中央有水平狭缝,留着大而弯曲的胡须,面部毛发雕刻精细,置于特制的底座上 高24厘米 来源: 法国私人收藏,1960年代购入 英国私人收藏 石制供奉人头或许是英国、爱尔兰及欧洲大陆铁器时代民族(常被称为“凯尔特人”)所创作的所有艺术品中最令人费解的。 这些雕像常被发现在水域附近,其具体功能尚不明确,有观点认为它们可能被用作“猎首”社会中的替身、宗教崇拜的焦点,或是备受尊崇的治愈圣物。 无论是石雕还是金属雕刻,头部图案的普遍存在表明,古代不列颠人对其怀有特殊的敬畏之情,很可能认为头部是灵魂的中心。 类似案例参见: “凯尔特花岗岩男子头像。”克里斯托夫·巴赫画廊 “欧洲雕刻石灰岩凯尔特男性战士供奉头像。”BADA “姆谢茨基-热霍维采英雄。”《世界历史百科全书》
