What does Celtic art look Like?
Celtic art is full of patterns, spirals,
animals and color. Like their daily life, their art was lively. They
made colorful jewelry, fabulous fabrics, beautiful pottery, musical instruments, shapely figurines of bronze and gold, strong wheels
for carts and wagons and strong weapons out of iron.
Artisans were highly respected. They did not
owe any military service to the nobles. They did not work in the
fields. If they were talented, they gained wealth and comfort. They
were free to travel and sell their goods to other clans. Artists
were appreciated and encouraged.
