"Red deer frontlet, probably used as a shaman’s head-dress, from the Mesolithic site of Star Carr (North Yorkshire, c. 11,000 years ago). The antlers were removed or split to obtain the splinters, and the skull was perforated."

The Táin Bó Cúailnge may hold the key to the Celtic “leaf-crown” motif…
“I see a battle; a blond man
With much blood about his belt,
And a hero-halo round his head,
His brow is full of victories.”
“Make haste, Ailill said, and ask Cú Chulainn to let you move on from here. There will be no forcing past him once his hero-halo springs up.”
“The hero-halo rose out of his brow, long and broad as a warrior's whetstone, long as a snout, and he went mad rattling his shields, urging on his charioteer and harassing the hosts.”
~Táin Bó Cúailnge, Kinsella translation
Obviously, it’s easily comparable to the Germanic bird-horn motif. While some examples clearly depict Odin with one eye, such as the Torslunda Plates and the figure from the Uppåkra Temple, others may indicate warriors in a state of ecstatic fury; possession by the spirit of Odin.
After all, the Hyndluljóð says “Biðjum Herjaföðr í hugum sitja”, I bid Heerfather to sit in our minds.
