This part of the the Gundestrup cauldron has fascinated me for years - this being it's most recent incarnation in clay.
Go figure that the original is metal, (a most favourite subject) and I haven't done it in that medium yet.
There's not a lot of information on Cernunnos, the Horned God, except that he is associated with nature and wild animals - perhaps the hunt - in the Celtic cosmology.
Coincidence that I'm repeatedly drawn to this image (?) - my name stems from the Latin Goddess of the Hunt.
Of course, "Goddess" itself will work every time.
"For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication." Friedrich Nietzsche
