[EN] This work aims at sketching every human or animal figuration found in the Late Latène sites in Moravia. Figures on the Celtic golden or silver coins have been left aside, since they deserve a special study. 22 cases are taken into account, 21 of which were bronze products ; in one case only we have an engraved ceramic. Most of these finds come from the oppidum of Staré Hradisko (14 pieces), a smaller group comes from lower settlements (5 pieces), from deposits (1 piece), and two statues are isolated finds without any clear provenience. Animal figurations are the most numerous (13 pieces), in fact, mammiferes and birds. These are, seven figurations, complete or fragmentary, which were used as hangers, and which picture domestic or wild animals (pig, goat, dog, duck, hind) ; in five other cases, ram heads have been attached to winding rings, or a duck head is attached to the end of a balance beam. The engraving of a crane on a ceramic vessel is an isolated case. Animal figurations are most probably witnessing to a Celtic local production, but the human figurations originate almost certainly from outside Moravia, and more precisely from the Italian area (up till now, 9 finds). The hangers representing hands, with the “ fica”, could be held to be local products, although they have been influenced, at least on the ideological level, by the Republican Roman culture.
