Best quality indicating an officer of high status. Gilt engraved bronze, just over 1 1/2” width with two small eyes to attach to the shoulder belt. The surface contoured to the raised central square with the four panels hand engraved in abstracted motifs on hatched ground. About 85% original gold overlay remaining. The effect on the Celts of seeing men in such dazzling attire, glistening in the sun would have been demoralizing. Museum worthy.
