A fact from Wandsworth Shield appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 October 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Wandsworth Shield (pictured) has a repoussée design of two large birds with outstretched wings and trailing tail feathers, and is considered to be a masterpiece of British Celtic art?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/October.

Wouldn't this be an example of La Tène style...[edit]

...as are the other shields this article mentions? I'm basing that on the shields' own articles, which state they are of La Tène style.

Unfortunately, I can't research a reference for this; I can only ask the question. Thanks in advance, --Geekdiva (talk) 19:21, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly it is, and a very famous one, but that redirects to Celtic art; in Britain they are synonymous. Johnbod (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
