084 - Celtic feminine charioteer in a full moon

ART GALLERY / Text translated by Google / Table based on a currency Celtic tribe Redones near Rennes in France. A charioteer’s woman on a chariot wheel was only represented in the left hand holds the reins of a horse walking or running, turning his head toward her, and her right hand the Philhelm’s monogram. It was not present on the coin! Under the horse, a monstrous octopus very graphically, which seems to capture the horse in its tentacles, but it could also be interpreted as the sun. In front, a link connects the reins to a banner decorated floats in the air with two ties adorned: it is the banner that should frighten the horse. Another possible interpretation, a concentration of stars giving off two shooting stars. The woman is buttressed arches, bare chest, she wears a torque around hes neck and is wearing a short skirt flying alone. The dog turns to attend the scene.
Banner: derived from Frankish, a sense of standard, was a rectangular piece of cloth, which contained the coat of arms, and was tied to the mast or a lance.
Torque: necklace typical Celtic and Scythian, later increased to an honorary degree by the Romans. It was a necklace of bronze or sometimes gold, open front, and finished balls at both ends.
