The Basse Yutz Flagons are a pair of Iron Age ceremonial drinking vessels that date from the mid 5th century BCE.[1] Since their discovery in ill-documented circumstances in the 1920s and their subsequent purchase by the British Museum,[2] they have been described as "great masterpieces" that "combine most of the key features of early Celtic Art".[3] They are in many respects very similar to the Dürrnberg Flagon found in Austria.
