Bronze Unit - Dubnovellaunos Dreadlocks

Beschrijving voorzijde	Stylised bare head facing left, rendered in a distinctly Celtic abstract manner. The hair is depicted as a series of thick, heavily corded rope-like tresses arranged in bold sweeping curves across the crown and behind the head, characteristic of the 'dreadlocks' artistic convention of Cantian coinage. Facial features including the eye, nose, and chin are summarily indicated in low relief. The overall composition fills the flan with dynamic, swirling line work typical of Late Iron Age British die-cutting.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A winged horse (Pegasus) depicted in a dynamic leaping posture to the right, with wings rendered as bold striated lines rising from the withers toward the upper field. A prominent pellet-in-ring motif appears above the horse's back, and further pellets occupy the field. Beneath the horse is a rectangular cross-hatched panel, representing a net or lattice design, which serves as a ground line. The overall design is executed in the abstracted Celtic artistic tradition, with strong emphasis on movement and decorative field elements.
