Iberian votive offering (man with toga and falcata)

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, a man with an expressive face, with hair gathered in braids and dressed in a toga, carries a falcata under it, which is evident by the zoomorphic hilt that protrudes on one side. / Extracted from: A.A.V.V.: Instituto Gómez-Moreno (catalog).
