Horseman votive offering

This ex-voto is part of a group of 68 that Manuel Gómez-Moreno Martínez collected. They come from a sanctuary context. They obey different themes, although most of them are men, warriors, warriors on horseback, priestesses, women,… All of them are objects that were used as offerings to the Iberian gods to favor the protection, healing, victory in battle, fertility, etc. of the offerer. In this case it is a man on horseback. The rider wears the Iberian braided hairstyle, and is dressed as a warrior. / Extracted from: A.A.V.V.: Instituto Gómez-Moreno (catalog).
