Refers to the second of the four divisions of Celtic La Tène art as defined by Paul Jacobsthal in 1944. It began around 350 BCE, following Celtic war bands having raided Italy. It is named after the site in the Hunsrück mountains, Germany, and is characterized by the depiction of human and animal faces peering through swirling vegetal forms. Jacobsthal's La Tène style sequence has been challenged by modern scholars.
