Ex-Voto Chariot with Horses: A Glimpse into Iberian History and Devotion This stunning ex-voto chariot, crafted in bronze and adorned with intricately detailed horses, is a captivating example of Iberian art from the Sanctuary of Collado de los Angeles in Spain. Ex-voto objects, derived from the Latin term 'ex voto' meaning 'from a vow,' are votive offerings made in fulfillment of a promise or as a sign of gratitude for a divine intervention or healing. The chariot, dating back to the 1st century BCE, is a significant historical artifact that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Iberian Peninsula. The horses, depicted with powerful muscles and dynamic energy, are a testament to the ancient Iberian people's reverence for the equine species. The chariot's elaborate design, with intricate patterns and geometric shapes, reflects the advanced metalworking skills of the artisans of the time. The Sanctuary of Collado de los Angeles, located in the province of Burgos, has been an essential pilgrimage site since ancient times, with numerous ex-voto offerings, including this chariot, being discovered there. The site's historical and archaeological significance has led to its designation as a National Monument of Spain and its inclusion in the European Route of the Olive Tree and the European Route of the Wine. This ex-voto chariot with horses is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the religious practices, metalworking techniques, and cultural traditions of the ancient Iberian people. Its intricate details and powerful symbolism continue to captivate and inspire viewers, making it a must-see for anyone interested in Iberian history and art.
