Description - Symbol and Image in Celtic Religious Art by Miranda Green

In Symbol and Image in Celtic Religious Art , Miranda Green argues that only by deciphering their complex systems of images and symbols can we uncover the realities of Celtic life and belief in Europe before and during the Roman period. She explores a number of iconographic themes in depth and examines the tribal and regional differences in artistic cult expression to reveal the very varied concepts embraced by anthropomorphic imagery. Discussion ranges from the artistic expression of animal cults and that of natural forces to the effect of religious belief on artistic style, and Miranda Green argues that stylistic features such as emphasis and exaggeration express the religious viewpoint of Celtic patrons and artists
