Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻<p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FindsFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FindsFriday</span></a>: The objects of the find ensemble next to the left head, such as the bar link necklace with the associated pendants as well as the amber necklace, represent regalia with a religious-cultic character. The minerals found in the grave of Reinheim are also to be regarded as magical objects.</p>

Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻<p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FindsFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FindsFriday</span></a>: The grave of Reinheim belongs to a very respected person. Peter Buwen emphasises that there is no evidence of this person exercising direct rule. On the other hand, there are a large number of objects with religious symbolism. For example, the end figures of one arm ring depict female figures with wings wearing a bird of prey helmet. Due to the many magical-religious objects "it can be stated that the woman buried here is more likely to be a priestess than a princess."<br>Source: Holger Müller „<a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Keltische" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Keltische</span></a> Frauen an der Macht.

The composite creature has predatory paws, the body of a bird and a human head. On ist head, the creature wears a helmet with raised cheek flaps. The feathers are carefully carved out on the wings, which are formed form a spiral. The helmet and wing attributes allude to the Etruscan goddess Minerva. <br>Source: MAMUZ Museum</p>

Originally this helmet would have been a gleaming golden colour and decorated with red glass studs. This rare helmet is the only horned one to be found in Europe.

It roughly corresponds to today's shoe size 30 and thus proves the presence of children underground. A remnant of a lacing made of flax or linen has also been preserved.
