EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient Iberian sculpture, Picture No. 11022572, showcases the intricate artistry and rich history of Spain's Iberian culture. Dated between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, this masterpiece was discovered in Espera, a small town in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia. The Archaeological Museum of Seville now proudly houses this magnificent piece, which is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Iberian Peninsula during the ancient age. The sculpture depicts a powerful and majestic lion, a common symbol of strength and courage in ancient cultures. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lion's muscular form, textured mane, and piercing gaze. The intricate carvings on the base of the sculpture further enhance its beauty and historical value. The Iberian Peninsula, located in the southwestern corner of Europe, was inhabited by various indigenous cultures during ancient times. These cultures, collectively known as Iberian, are known for their unique artistic styles, which were influenced by both the Mediterranean and the Celtic worlds. The Iberian people were skilled craftsmen, and their art often depicted animals, particularly lions and horses, as well as human figures and mythological creatures. This lion sculpture is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the Iberian people during this period. Its discovery in Espera, a site rich in Iberian archaeological remains, further emphasizes the importance of this region in understanding the history and culture of ancient Spain. The intricate details and the powerful presence of this sculpture continue to captivate and inspire visitors to the Archaeological Museum of Seville, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Iberian Peninsula.
