Lord of the Beasts - Kells Wild Man - 7501B

Lord of the Beasts, also called the "Kells Wild Man" - modeled after a panel on the 9th-10th century stone Kells Cross, this figure may refer to Samson subduing the lions - or to a more ancient Celtic deity ruling over the beasts. The horned central figure accompanied by beasts is not a biblical scene but likely a relic of older mythic tradition, possibly referencing Crom Dubh—a pre‑Christian Irish figure associated with bulls and hounds—or a classical nature spirit, such as Pan/Faunus, symbolizing untamed wilderness.  Bronze 20mm W x 38mm H
