Antlered God with Animals

290
An antlered deity—often identified as Cernunnos—sits cross-legged, flanked by wild beasts. He grasps a torc and a horned serpent, emblems of power and transformation. The animals encircling him evoke cosmic balance, fertility, and the untamed forces of nature. This Gundestrup Cauldron panel (150 BC–1 AD) fuses Celtic spirituality with Balkan craftsmanship.
