XVII. — 1 . Series of one hundred and three votive offerings, 

 consisting chiefly of bronze statuettes of a rude type repre- 

 senting men and women. Besides these there are bronze 

 models of parts of the human body and implements, three 

 bronze fibulae, and one statuette in iron. They belong to 

 the pre-Roman period of art in Spain, and are probably at 

 least as early as the sixth cent. B.C. One of the female 

 figures has a head-dress corresponding to that of the bust 

 from Elche {Monuments Plot, IV. (1897), pis. xiii. and xiv.). 

 These objects were found on the site of an ancient sanctuary
