Ancient Celtic Sculpture

Ancient Celtic sculptures date back over a huge expanse of time, and are still not fully understood today. Typically Celtic art is ornamental, avoiding straight lines and often involving complex symbolism.

I think that a lot of Celtic sculptures were of high religious significance and were prized dearly.
