exvoto 5 a
Museum collection

Iberian votive offering

bronce

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 woman wearing a cloak and headdress, whose clothing is related to a priestess. The woman’s facial features stand out / Extracted from: A.A.V.V.: Gómez-Moreno Institute (catalog). Granada, 1992, p. 159-162

Chronology: Collado de los Jardines (Jaén)s. III- II b. C.
