"In 1891 a costly silver cauldron appeared during peat-digging in the bog Rævemosen in Himmerland, Jutland. The cauldron had been placed out in the bog - a valuable sacrifice to the powers above. Its images draw the observer into an alien universe far from that of the people who placed it out in the North Jutland bog. Elephants, lions and several gods represented in a foreign style show that the cauldron had its origin in remote areas to the south or south east. Exactly where it was made is an open question. Perhaps it was a gift to the great chieftain, perhaps it was war booty. The cauldron may have been used as a vessel in ritual drinking feasts."
