## Resource

Interesting Things with JC #1781: "The Carnyx" – Celtic warriors raised bronze carnyxes nearly 10 feet high, blasting sound through open animal jaws above the battlefield. One surviving boar head had a hinged jaw and movable tongue that could rattle as it played, while seven carnyxes later found at a Gallic sanctuary showed the same instrument belonged beyond war.
