caption_attribution_description: Iberian sculpture.
context_page_description: Iberian sculpture, a subset of Iberian art, describes the various sculptural styles developed by the Iberians from the Bronze Age up to the Roman conquest. For this reason it is sometimes described as Pre-Roman Iberian sculpture.
  Almost all extant works of Iberian sculpture visibly reflect Greek and Phoenician influences, and Assyrian, Hittite and Egyptian influences from which those derived; yet they have their own unique character. Within this complex stylistic heritage, individual works can be placed within a spectrum of influences- some of more obvious Phoenician derivation, and some so similar to Greek works that they could have been directly imported from that region. Overall the degree of influence is correlated to the work's region of origin, and hence they are classified into groups on that basis.
context_section_description: The southern group is principally composed of sculptures found in sepulchers, and other funeral monuments, in the Andalusian region. Most of them display heavy Phoenician influence. They are as follows:
  The sculptural set of Cerrillo Blanco
  the sculptural set of The Pajarillo
  The Punic stela of Villaricos (Almeria), of conical form and with Phoenician inscription
  The Lady of Baza.
  The plates and combs of ivory with reliefs of Carmona's necropolis.
  The anthropomorphic sarcophagus carved in marble with the figure of the deceased, of the Greek style, found in Cadiz
  The amulets with figurines of Egyptian style found in sepulchers of Cadiz and Málaga
  several other reliefs of the Phoenician or Iberian tradition but worked already with Roman influence, discovered in Osuna (such as the Bull of Osuna)
