Boar imagery recurs throughout Celtic material culture, from carnyx war-horn crests to coinage and jewellery, associated consistently with courage and ferocity in battle. This reproduction recreates that motif as a matched pair of leather cuffs, with the boar cast in detailed metal and riveted onto thick, vegetable-tanned leather for a durable, genuinely wearable finish.
