The Lady of Elche.
In 1897, a remarkable artifact was discovered on an estate at L'Alcúdia in Valencia, Spain - a polychrome bust of a woman's head dating back to the 4th Century BC. Known as the Lady of Elche, this iconic piece is considered one of Spain's most famous treasures.
The young boy who found it was just 14 years old when he overturned a stone and came across the bust. The statue depicts the woman's head, neck, and shoulders, with her chest area also visible. It may have been part of a larger full-body statue in its original form.
The intricate headdress on the Lady of Elche features two large coils called "rodetes" on either side of her face. These could represent ceremonial adornments, suggesting that she might be a priestess. The headdress stretches across her forehead and has a pattern of raised marble-shaped bumps. Tassel-like pieces hang in front of her ears, while elaborate necklaces grace her chest area. Her expressionless gaze was once painted with red, white, and blue decorative paint.
The origin of the sculpture remains uncertain and is subject to much debate among scholars. Some believe it is Iberian, but others argue that its craftsmanship also shows Hellenistic influences. The Lady of Elche may be associated with Tanit, the goddess of Carthage who was worshiped by the Punic-Iberians.
