God of Bouray
Also known as Cernunnos, it symbolizes rebirth, the renewal of nature and abundance. By his sitting position as a tailor (the legs end in deer hooves) and the wearing of the typical Gallic torque, he is the most Celtic of the indigenous gods. All the resources of the art of bronze-goldsmithing have been used to restore hair, eyebrows and even eyelashes, which are evoked by parallel stripes on the edge of the eyelids.
The art of enamelling has been used to bring the gaze to life.
