Early Celtic art, which reached its high point in 1st-century Britain, excelled in metalwork in particular weapons and jewellery. In Britain and Ireland, Celtic art flourished anew with the coming of Christianity, producing sculpture (stone crosses) and manuscript illumination, such as the Lindisfarne Gospels (British Museum, London), made about AD 690.
An outstanding example of Celtic art found in continental Europe is highly wrought metalwork, inlaid with coloured enamel and coral, found at La Tène, a site at Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
