Cernunnos and his buddies romp in the woods

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.
