Spain 2016

The Dama de Elche (Lady of Elche) was named for the city near where she was found in 1897. She is limestone, from the Iberian culture of 5-4c BC, and was originally painted and had eyes of vitreous paste. The current interpretation is that she was an aristocratic Iberian who was deified by her descendants.
