Pretty fabulous find

Indeed.  I recall my Airfix Ancient Brits had a boar standard, though their's was rather different (based on the Arch of Orange, I think).  Also, I now know the proper plural of carnyx - carnyces. Doubtless that will come in handy in future

Obviously from Boudicca's Iceni marching band.
