Celtes et Gaulois E5

In the early 1990s, archaeologists discovered what may have been a sanctuary near the tomb of the Lady of Vix. In the ditches surrounding the site, two limestone statues were found. One of them has been named the "Seated Warrior." His legs are folded behind a shield, of which only the central part and the hand holding it are visible. The sanctuary appears to have been violently destroyed around 450 BC, at which point the statues were decapitated and thrown into the ditches.
