The design draws inspiration from a prominent piece of Celtic art, the Mšecké Žehrovice Head, renowned from Iron Age Europe. A few years ago, I encountered a replica of this captivating head at the Bibracte Museum in France. The charm of its delightfully curled mustache, his expression, and the fact that he’s wearing a torc – a traditional Celtic necklace – all captured my imagination. Unearthed during a 1943 excavation of the Mšecké Žehrovice oppidum (a significant Iron Age settlement) in central Bohemia, Czech Republic, this Celtic Hero likely originated at the cusp of the third and second centuries BC. Since its discovery, back in 1943, the head has become one of the icons of Celtic art.

This pendant is handcarved and casted, there is only one available. So it is a one of a kind item. It can also be displayed as a small statue: the boar’s head can stand on his neck.

You can choose between a dark brown or black leather cord (1.5 mm thick) or a black cotton cord (1mm thick).
Standard adjustable cord length is 70 cm. Do you want a longer or shorter cord with your pendant? Just let me know!

Note: Bronze can leave green marks on your skin, especially when the pendant is new or when you sweat a lot. But this is not harmful for your skin.
