Celtic Antiques and Ali Aboutaam

Ali Aboutaam, co-owner of Phoenix Ancient Art, is involved in many different aspects of various historical Eras of antiques.  Included in these is the Celtic time frame.  This is characterized by ornamental art, avoiding symmetry and straight lines, somewhat surprisingly not using nature themes, which are usually integral to the classical tradition.  Classical (Celtic) antiquity focused on the Mediterranean Sea, and was crafted through Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome civilizations, a.k.a. the Greo-Roman World.  What Celtic Art is very much known for however, is complex symbolism and focuses on lettering, plant forms, spirals, human figures and more. Currently on sale at Phoenix Ancient Art during this time period is a Celtic Bronze Head of a Bull and an Appliqué with Abstract Pattern.
