Three finds from well 512 at Châteaumeillant pose an archaeological puzzle: a horse-shaped firedog, a broken Gallic statue and a human skull. The exhibition on Gallo-Roman magic asks why these objects ended up together underground. Their unusual association invites an investigation into actions and beliefs in the ancient settlement, without treating the mystery as already solved.
