Exvoto (bread)

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 Negroid features, shows the palms of his hands (one of them is not preserved although it can be deduced from other known pieces), with a bread or cake in the center of each one of them. / Extracted from: A.A.V.V.: Instituto Gómez-Moreno (catalog).
