Which reminds me Rhiannon of druids and a warrior sandstone figure who featured in the Celtic exhibition in Stuttgart. He stood impressively, quite scarily in fact, dominating the scene. The 'disney' like ears are supposed to be mistletoe leaves, a date of 500 bc gives him Iron Age credence and he stood outside a tomb....

Talking of similarities, the wiki page for the sculptures has this picture of how the main tomb would have looked. Its a very familiar shape...
