Two Little Piggies

This artwork features two bronze boar figurines, emblematic of Roman Britain's cultural synthesis between Roman craftsmanship and Celtic symbolism. Rendered in dark bronze, each figure embodies ancient ideals of power and ferocity. The upper boar showcases a solid crest ridge, directly evoking the traditional Celtic depiction of an enraged wild boar, while the lower figure presents distinct spiked bristles, emphasising the warrior spirit intrinsic to Celtic beliefs. Set against a minimalist backdrop of muted plum and green shapes with an abstract ivory circle, the composition bridges antiquity with modern abstract form, inviting reflection on the symbolic potency of these votive offerings.
