The Gundestrup Bowl

Based on the Gundestrup Cauldron, this bowl is my latest commissioned piece and features some fantastic detailing by local woodcarver, Richard Kennedy…

Made from silver, the original cauldron dates from between 200 BC - 300 AD and is thought to be one of the earliest examples of Iron Age silverwork. It was discovered in a Danish peat bog in 1891 and is now on show at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.

This version incorporates aspects of the original design, but retaines the slender profile of my other works. The detail in the carving is incredible and the raised outer rim is featured in the cauldron itself...
