This dramatic pewter Celtic Torc, featuring a serpent head and the head of a wild boar, was handcrafted in Cornwall. Animals were often incorporated into Celtic Knots (Zoomorphic Knots) when the animal possessed a trait that the Celts admired.
The serpent was considered immortal and regarded as a symbol of rebirth and wisdom, as it was reborn with each new skin.
The wild boar was considered a fierce warrior who defended itself to the death, being ferocious and courageous.
Torcs were worn both on the neck and arms of people of high status such as Chieftains or Warriors.
