Now, there is of course no way to know if these coins show tattoos, scarifications, warpaint or just some surrealistic addition of unclear meaning… Of course we see what we think we see, so my interpretation of the coins turned to warpaint. I was starting down that path myself as that at least would show an eastetic from that culture and age.Īs i stumbled around blindly, looking at as many things i could to get a feeling for thier artistic language, i noted someone talking about celtic coins and the possibilities of these showing tattoos. Some other reenactors base their motives in decorative patterns from jewellery and other artifacts. ![]() I wanted something more… period to base my guesses on. It all seemed mostly modern eastetichs to me. Everything from the latest movie with some celts in, Braveheart, american football cheek soot, tigerstripe cammoflage…. Some other reenactors seems to have very little to base thier warpaint on. IF they decorated thier body in some way, how did it look like?Īs i entered into this conundrum i had no idea how to adress the problem. ![]() These questions aside, you land in the next one. Was it paint? Or tattoos? Or even possibly scarification? ![]() ![]() The issue of celtic warpaint is much debated.
