	BARBARIANS IV Celtic Style
		Many other Hallstatt works foreshadow La Tène style, of course, but few were found in intimate proximity to works imported from the "Greek" Mediterranean, from which individual motifs and stylistic trends are supposed, according to the "Hellenization" model, to have been adapted or assimilated.
		A very early La Tène burial, at Kleinaspergle, contains two Attic red-figure kylikes (drinking cups) that were provided with Celtic gold foil ornaments, again a situation in which the craftsman had to be intimately familiar with the import.
		In addition, although Celtic aspects of the clothing, the faces, and the extremely stylized horses are generally acknowledged, the overall compositional scheme, the relationship of the figures to the picture plane, the questions of illusionism and narrative remain to be analyzed.

		The La Tène culture is distinguished archaeologically as a shift in artistic and ornamental style to a more curvilinear form based on plant and mythical monster motifs, replacing the generally geometric designs on objects from earlier periods (Collis 1984:43-44, Wells 1999:42).
		Throughout the La Tène B and C periods, a strongly uniform tradition of flat inhumation burials, generally found in small cemeteries, thrived from Belgium and northern France in the west through southern Germany and east into the Czech Republic, Hungary, and parts of the former Yugoslavia (Collis 1984:46-48) (see Figure 3).
		The La Tène D period, the period of greatest social development and economic growth in pre-Roman Europe and of primary importance for the subject of this paper, officially began around 100 BC according to the Reinecke chronological system.

	Celtic Art
		La Tene art, named for a major Celtic site in Switzerland, produced by the pre-Christian Celts from the 5th century BCE until the 2d century CE Celtic Christian art, produced in Britain and Ireland from CE 400 to 1200.
		The stylized animal forms characteristic of La Tene art came from the Steppe Art of the nomadic Scythians, and though the Celtic art of this period shows influences from Greek and Etruscan motifs and other sources, the Celts' borrowing from other cultures was only additive (in other words, adapted to their art, not replacing it)/
		As it evolved, La Tene art yielded fine gilt-bronze flagons, plaques with human figures, and gold torcs bearing the characteristically curvilinear ornament of the period and became "characterized by the use of high-relief ornament and by a delight in complex transformations of form, from abstract to figurative and from plant to animal.

		This would be the La Tene Style as seen on many different art objects such as: pottery, weapons, literary pieces, jewelry, ceremonial wares, personal and practical objects such as mirrors, harnesses and useful household items to name a few.
		La Tene designs have also been broken down into different categories, two of which are the 'Early Style', which was of simpler design than that of the 'Vegetal Style' which was more involved and complex, both equally as beautiful.
		In learning about the Celts and their art works it must be mentioned that they had no known form of written language, so we completely have to depend upon the remainder of the art objects found, architecture, archeological findings such as bodies and grave sites and the recordings and writings by Classical writers.

	myArmoury.com: Celtic La Tene Type II Sword
		This particular sword is designated a La Tene II or Middle La Tene—that is, it is typical of Celtic swords throughout Europe in the La Tene II period.
		The current shape is quite possible, given that most La Tene sword finds simply have a bare tang, hilt plate, and pommel button; however, the author simply knows of no period depiction illustrating an appearance that is quite so pointy in the pommel.
		To the author's knowledge, the Albion Celtic La Tene II is the only production La Tene II sword that offers a good level of historical accuracy, appropriate weight, balance and handling, and high functionality.
