Applique; Celtiberian culture, 3rd century.Bronze.Provenance: Private collection of the Berenguer family.Measurements: 11.8 x 4 cm.The term Celtiberian groups together a series of pre-Roman Celtic or Celticized peoples who inhabited the area of the Iberian Peninsula known as Celtiberia in classical sources from the end of the Bronze Age (around the 13th century BC) until the Romanisation of Hispania (2nd-1st century BC). One of the main sources of information on the material culture of the Celtiberian peoples are the funerary trousseaus, with metal objects (generally bronze and iron, but also silver), including weapons, ornaments and tools, and also ceramic pieces, ranging from the cinerary urn itself to beads and fusayoles. These grave goods were made up of functional objects from everyday life as well as others of purely symbolic and social value, indicating the status of the deceased. The important role of weaponry and, in particular, swords is particularly noteworthy, as they speak of the privileged place occupied by warriors in Celtiberian society.
