Ancient Celtic Pendant 5-1 century BC

[CristianH]

Hello dear community, I want to present you today my latest great find.

In a forest, near a mountain river I found this beautiful Celtic pendant made from Potin which is an alloy made with copper, tin, zinc and lead and invented in the region named Gallia (latin) in western Europe by those known as Celtic people.
The pendant was given to the Bukovina History Museum for further research.

I hope you enjoy this rare find and you can also check the video of the discovery. Thank you.

Thank you so much, I'm also so excited because is the second piece found in my country and few in Europe in great condition and that makes it a very rare find. And in my country is listed as National heritage with great historical value.
With the help from some of my friends I found some info about the signs used in that period and what means.
