Waldalgesheim style

Waldalgesheim style [De].
The second of four distinctive styles of pre-Roman Celtic art in Europe defined by Paul JACOBSTHAL in 1944. Named after a chieftain's grave found near Bonn in the Rhineland, the Waldalgesheim style was characterized by an individual use of classical non-representational forms, especially the free use of flowing curvilinear motifs, as on the torc and rings from the type-site. Broadly dated to the later 4th and early 3rd centuries bc.
