Excellent work. The equipment is spot-on.
I'm not so sure about the beards though. Razors and tweezers were a fairly common find in related archeological digs, afaik.

This is a fantastic piece of work. It's historically accurate, which is a real miracle. Their gear and looks are entirely appropriate. You've perfectly captured the look of ancient Iron Age Celtic warriors of Gaul, or perhaps Britain. I especially like the mail shirt, which is accurate to the few surviving examples. Wonderful work.

Actually, if you look closer, you'll see it's not a spear, but a standard. Due to the climate, the flags and cloth standards the Celts maye have used have not survived, but their bronze standards have. Depicted is a bronze Boar standard. These were mounted on poles and used like flags were. They were not weapons, although they could certainly be used as such. Such totems as stags, boars, wolves, horses and dragons have been found. Most likely, they would have been rallying points for given tribes. They would be able to see their standard, high above the fray, and know where friendly lines were.
