Bronze statuette of a warrior

Iberian

Not on view

The arrangement of the broad belt, short-sleeved tunic, and pointed defensive garment covering the lower body is seen in Iberian art exclusively on warriors. This kind of costume is described by Strabo in his discussion of Iberian mercenary warriors and their dress (Strabo 3.3-4). The statuette was most likely a votive dedication, and similar examples have been found in sanctuaries on the Iberian Peninsula.
