The Iberians, an ancient civilization that thrived in the Pre-Roman era, left behind a rich and fascinating legacy. From the Celtiberian site of San Miguel to the Iberian settlement in Ullastret, their presence can still be felt today. Their artistry is particularly noteworthy, with vessels adorned with decanter beaks and intricate Kernos dating back to the 3rd century BC. One of their most iconic creations is the Lady of Elche, a mesmerizing bust that showcases their mastery in sculpture. Music also played a significant role in their culture, as depicted by an image of a musician playing an aulos from old times. Their artistic expression extended beyond sculptures and music; it encompassed various forms such as oenochoe pottery from Spain's Catalonia region during the 3rd century BC. Another intriguing artifact is an idol bust found in Guadix, Spain - showcasing human-like features that captivate our imagination. The Iberians' craftsmanship was not limited to small objects; they also excelled at creating larger pieces like silver pateras and hunting chariots - both exquisite Iberian artistry. Lastly, we cannot forget about the famous Bulls of Guisando - monumental stone sculptures representing power and strength. These bulls have become symbols of Spanish history and heritage. Exploring these remnants from centuries ago allows us to connect with this ancient civilization known as the Iberians. Their artifacts provide glimpses into their daily lives, beliefs, and remarkable artistic abilities – reminding us how even after all these years, their influence continues to inspire awe and admiration.
