Created by Celtic artisans, this ancient artifact is currently housed in the Museo Civico Archeologico in Como, Italy. The intricate design of this tank reflects the artistic prowess of its creators. The fusion of wood and metal creates a visually striking juxtaposition that highlights both strength and elegance.
