Since the jug is one of the treasures of the private collection, this is a good opportunity for collectors to compete with Celtic masterpieces comparable to those on the British Museum. Celtic art has a unique and distinctive style that is very attractive. Bonhams is very pleased to present a special legacy from this prehistoric moment in Europe.
