AFP The mullet has supposedly been making a comeback for months, but what if this legendary hairstyle had always been at the cutting edge of fashion? That s what a small Iron Age figurine seems to suggest, in any case. This 5-cm figure of a deity can be seen sporting a mustache and a mullet, a potentially popular hairstyle at the time, according to archeologists.
The artifact depicts a human figure with oval eyes, a mustache, and a mullet haircut, which the specialists think represents an unknown Celtic deity. The figure is also holding a torc, an open-ended metal neck ring popular in Celtic times and associated with status. Such details reinforce the archeologists’ thinking that the figurine probably served as a decorative handle of a spatula.
