a music vid (faith and the muse - heavy metal, eco guys .. angry near the end), a photo and some info:

Cernunnos' name appears on the Pillar of the Boatmen. The dedication to Emperor Tiberius is one of the earliest pieces of representative Gaulish sculpture to carry a written inscription. The Pillar of the Boatmen originally stood in the Gallo-Roman town of Lutetia. Here, Cernunnos is depicted as having a stag's antlers from which hang two torcs. The Pillar of the Boatmen is now displayed in the Musee National du Moyen Age in Paris and is known to have been created by Gaulish sailors in around 14 C.E. It was found in 1710 in the foundations of the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, the ancient site of Lutetia, the civitas capital of the Celtic Parisii.

He runs EPONA.net - a scholarly resource

everybody agrees the statue was found in Reims (or rheims) but nobody specifies when nor where it is now.

.... aahh, this is better:

This work was discovered in the chaingang quarters of Reims 1837

Who ever authored linked description estimates the age of this particular statue to the second century ('not younger than 200 post JC').

Cernunnos depictions are much much older though, found very far from europe, in fact, specially if you strip him down to mere antlers, he's right up there on the most ancient cave walls ... around when he managed to muster help with rock crunching, coin minting torqueyness is yet to be determined and if that dynamite producer has any descendants i cordially invite them to come work for me.

also in french (more like the general wishy washy stuff but in pleasant colours at least):

my first vid upload

managed to cut it in half and slap a liddul take down on it too! Woohoo! 'webbyrelevance'
the link is here:
http://sites.google.com/site/pieptoet/
the attachment there is an 82K file filled with notes about Bob Dobbs, who, like his mentor McLuhan - one among a handful he remained extremely loyal to ('vormvast' with) most of his life - was a fan of Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce.
Joyce was to letters what race was to arms.
Caution, thicket ahead.
