Mšecké Žehrovice Head
The Celtic Hero from Bohemia is a male sculpted head found at the oppidum site in Mšecké Žehrovice, about 65 km north-west of Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the best known works of Celtic art from Iron Age Europe, and, along with the Glauberg "Prince" and the
Warrior of Hirschlanden, one of the few large representations of the human figure. Ever since its discovery in 1943, the sculpture became one of the most photographed, reproduced and published La Tène (cc. 450-50 B.C.) objects ever.〔Megaw and Megaw, Venclová, N., ed. ''The Stone Head ''. In Mšecké Žehrovice in Bohemia. Archaeological Background to a Celtic Hero (Kronos B.Y. editions, 1998:281)〕 The sculpture is now in the Prague National Museum as inventory No. 111938.
==Substance==
The stone head, sculpted from local cretaceous limestone has a maximum height of 234mm and width of 174mm. The sculpture was broken into at least five pieces sometime in antiquity.〔Jansová, L. ''Mšecké Žehrovice und die Frage der Viereckschanzen in Böhmen''. (Archaeologické Rozhledy, 1968, 20:470-489)〕 Four pieces have been found in fairly good condition. However, the missing fragment or possibly fragments, a right-hand side of the head including upper part of the ear, have not yet been found. The heavily stylized facial features are projected on an almost flat surface surrounded by a braid-like shaped hair. The most prominent are the bulging oval eyes, contoured by a curvilinear eyebrow matching a similarly imposing curvilinear moustache. The mouth is suggested by a mere downward bending line.〔Venclová, N.,''The Venerable Bede, druidic tonsure and archaeology'', (Antiquity, 2002, 76:458-71)〕 The ears are not naturalistic but rather represented as lotus buds, a stylistic form representative of La Téne art.〔Jacobstahl, P. ''Early Celtic Art'', (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1944)〕 The neck is formed in a shape of a torc, a traditional Celtic necklace. A similar torc can be seen on the second century B.C. sculpture of a ''Dying Gaul'' from Pergamon.
