A fine early example of the Celtic carved pillar is the 5th-4th century BCE Pfalzfeld Pillar from near St. Goar, Germany. The pillar is 1.48 metres (4 ft 8 in) tall and was once topped by a head. Divided into four sides by vertical cable reliefs, each face has a human head wearing a headdress known as a ‘leaf crown’ and a stylized beard of three points. The spaces are filled with geometric designs. (Rheinisches Landesmuseum, Bonn).
