Several types of bronze votives were popular in Iberia during the late 6th to early 5th century B.C., including the standing male, the horseman, and the standing female. The votary presented here is an unusually large example of the latter with well-articulated details. For related standing female votives see no. 7 in V.A. Hibbs, Iberian Antiquities from the Collection of Leon Levy & Shelby White, and no. 318 in H. Galsterer, et al., Die Iberer.
