To the Celts, as everywhere, the bull was a symbol of fertility, wealth, and status. The bull likewise symbolizes ties to the land, ancestry, and kinship. A good bull was a conspicuous sign of wealth in a culture that revolved around cattle husbandry; the prestige of a clan’s bull was closely linked to that of its king, and to the prosperity of its people.
