Taranis Emerging with Beasts

248
This divine face, framed by two gripping beasts, represents Taranis, the Celtic sky god tied to thunder, wheels, and cosmic order on this Gundestrup Cauldron panel (150 BC–1 AD). Emerging from a portal, he manifests as a force of rebirth, time, and balance. The flanking creatures symbolize chthonic and celestial energies held in symmetrical tension.
