Celtic Hero from Bohemia

The Mšecké Žehrovice Head is a male sculpted head from c. 150–50 BC found at the double Viereckschanze site in Mšecké Žehrovice, about 65 km northwest 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. After its discovery in 1943, the sculpture became one of the most photographed, reproduced and published La Tène (cc. 450–50 B.C.) objects ever.

The sculpture is now in the Nové Strašecí Museum. A copy of it can also be seen in the Prague National Museum.

With its iconic moustache, owl-like eyes, torc ornament and unique hairstyle, the marlstone head became an icon of Celtic Europe, featured on the covers of scientific as well as populist publications concentrating on Iron Age Europe related issues.
