These offering bearers made from limestone are the most common type of representation found at the ancient Iberian Shrine of Cerro de los Santos (Montealegre de Castillo, Albacete) in Spain. These specimens date from the 3rd-2nd century BCE. They are usually women, although the odd male figure can be found too. They are always richly garbed and hold an offering vessel in both hands. (Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid)
