This work by Charles Royer represents the goods found in the grave of a great Celtic aristocrat buried circa 500 BCE. Inside the burial mound, excavated by H.E. Millon in 1880, were a bronze mirror, an Attic ceramic kantharos and an Etruscan bronze stamnos. These three imported objects are evidence of the trade links between Celtic Gaul and the Mediterranean world. They are currently housed at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
