Page "Gundestrup cauldron" Paragraph 5

The Gundestrup cauldron is composed almost entirely of silver, but there is also a substantial amount of gold for the gilding, tin for the solder, and glass for the figures ' eyes.

According to experimental evidence, the materials for the vessel were not added at the same time, so the cauldron can be considered as the work of artisans over a span of several hundred years.

The quality of the repairs to the cauldron, of which there are many, is inferior to the original craftsmanship.
