Celts or Gauls are the names that the Greek and Latin writers gave to the barbarian tribes whose homeland was north of the Alps.
Their distinctive art style, characterised by swirling and intricate patterns, is considered to be one of the outstanding abstract arts in world history.
Covering a vast period, from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages, this Pocket Treasury illustrates the wealth of the Celtic artistic achievement and some of the British Museum's most important Celtic treasures: the Basse-Yutz flagons, the Snettisham torque, the Battersea shield, the Sutton Hoo hanging bowl, the Londesborough brooch, the Kells crozier.
