Dejbjerg wagon, Iron Age ceremonial wagon at National Museum of Denmark, Denmark
The Dejbjerg wagon consists of two ceremonial carriages with iron bodies, decorated with Celtic masks and enamel inlays on their rivets.
Around 100 BCE, two ceremonial wagons were dismantled and placed in a peat bog near Ringkøbing, where they remained until their discovery in 1881.
The carriages display Celtic craftsmanship through metal decorations featuring male faces with curly hair and moustaches, indicating trade connections with Central Europe.
The National Museum of Denmark exhibits the wagons within its Danish Prehistory collection, presenting artifacts from early Iron Age transportation methods.
Local folklore accurately predicted the location of these wagons, describing vehicles filled with gold lying in a bog near the village vicarage.
