Around 450 BC there was a great flowering of Celtic art that was a very organic in style, with flowing curves and leaf-like structures shaped into abstract patterns and animal forms. The La Tene style of Celtic art was named after a site in Switzerland where a large concentration of objects was found. Weapons and other metal objects that were decorated with wave patterns and stylized plant and animal shapes were found thrown into a lake as ritual offerings.
