We just learned about the sculpture Guennol Lioness.
Another sculpture is the Gundestrup Cauldron.
This is a large metal bowl that was made thousands of years ago, and has many carvings on the side of people and animals.
In order to make this bowl, they had to find some rocks that had silver in them, and put them in a hot fire where everything burned away except the silver.
This is called cupellation.
Then they took the silver bars and pounded them flat, then heated them up again so they could pound some shapes and pictures into the silver.
This is called annealing and repoussé.
Next they used some hard tools called punches and tracers to poked holes, make dents and lines on the metal for pictures.
They added some other metals on the outside like gold and silver to make it look nice.
This is called gilding.
Last they put some pieces of glass into the carvings on the bowl.
This is called inlay.
