Celtic Bronze figure

nashwen · Oct 21, 2016

I thought I'd share the recent find I made at a cave on the Gower peninsular, it appears to be of late Iron age to early Roman
I'm told that its likely to be lunar deity of Celtic tradition.

I'd be grateful to find out more if anyone has any information on anything similar

PS. If they fudge it to be under the Act, you will get an independent valuation committee report. But this will not happen for at least 18 months. If they haven't asked for your details & the owners details (postal addresses) then ask for it back. Because these details are required by the Coroner to start the process.

Sounds good advise, if you don't mind I'll send a private message with more details. Any help would be appreciated

I'm unsure why you handed it over. I would not have. They have no legal right under the Treasure Act unless its deemed to be of significant national historical interest. (One of the grey areas) Or it was from a ritual site which is another grey area. It is over 300 years old but it has no silver or gold content (or at least not 10% or more), so they can only record it under the PAS & return to finder. If you want it back & you have an agreement with the landowner, go get it. I assume you still have the PAS Receipt?

He' s screwed.
