Reconstruction of lower burial in Hallein Tomb 44 as displayed in open-air museum, Dürrnberg.
Drawing of lower burial in Tomb 44 as excavated in 1956. The skeleton lay with the head to the west on a two-wheeled chariot; the wagon-box measured ca. 110 x 130 cm. The large bronze situla to the north contained a black-glaze Attic kylix. The knife to the east rested on animal bones; it was of iron, and has not survived.
Flagon made of perishable material, perhaps wood or leather; only the bronze attachments have survived. They were found in Hallein grave 44/2, a male chariot burial, and date to ca. 400-350 B.C.E. (Early La Tène).
Note the distinctive Celtic Triskele shape -- a three-legged whirligig pattern.
Height of head: ca. 8.3 cm.
