===============
This is Gunnestrup Couldren . It was found in peatbog in Gunnestrup in northern jutland near the the town Aars in Denmark in 1891 . The couldren is today housed in the danish national museum in Copenhagen . The couldren is made of silver and has motives of the Celtic god with antlers Cernunnos , a human sacrifice and an army foot and an army in horses and more . The couldron was most likely made in thrace (in modern Bulgaria ) sometime between 300/200 bce to 1 bce . And through Trade, it found its to Denmark. Where it eventuly ended up in a peatbog . This period in danish history is called the Celtic (or pre-roman ) iron age . It was perid where Celtic influence in art etc was dominant . That period was from 500 bce -1 bce . After the roman iron age began. As Trade with roman became dominant . And roman goods start to appear in Denmark . The celts newer got all the Way to Scandinavia. But there was huge Trade between Celtic areas of Europe and Scandinavia.

It was also during the danish Celtic iron age that the famous bog body the Tollundman was killed and put in a peat bog . He was sacrificed sometime between 405 and 384 bce . I have seen that some of you have posts . And I plan to little post about him eventuly. I have also been in the town of Silkeborg and seen him . He is a beauty . Now back to Gunnestrup couldron . To copies was made of the couldren. One is housed in museum in the town of Aars in northern Jutland. and the one is housed at moesgaards museum in the city of Aarhus. But the couldren shows some of the huge trade network during the european iron age . As silver couldren with Celtic art from most likely Bulgaria/Thrace (danish historians are not quite sure . But some belive its from from Bulgaria, they base it on simmilar finds from bulgaria. But other danish historians Think its was made in Gaul /france instead based on the Celtic art on couldren ) could find its Way to Denmark
