Gallaecian warrior statues
The Gallaecian warrior statues are a series of sculptures produced in northwest Iberia (today Galicia and northern Portugal) in the immediate pre-Roman period. Usually associated with the Gallaecian tribal complex they are also sometimes described as statues of Lusitanian, Luso-Gallaecian or Castrejo Culture origin.
Showing armed men slightly larger than natural size,[1] the statues are believed to represent deified local heroes and to date principally from between the 2nd Century BCE to the 1st Century CE.[2]
