The ware, or at least the most characteristic of the wares, made in these works is generally known as Castor or Durobrivian ware.

Castor was not, indeed, its only place of manufacture.

It was produced freely in northern Gaul, and possibly elsewhere in Britain.[3] But Castor is the best known and best attested manufacturing centre, and the easiest for us to examine.

The ware directly embodies the Celtic tradition.
It is based, indeed, on classical elements, foliated scrolls, hunting scenes, and occasionally mythological representations (Figs.
