The Southern Group
The southern group is principally composed of sculptures found in sepulchers, and other funeral monuments, in the Andalusian region. Most of them display heavy Phoenician influence. They are as follows:
- The sculptural set of Cerrillo Blanco
- the sculptural set of The Pajarillo
- The Punic stela of Villaricos (Almeria), of conical form and with Phoenician inscription
- The Lady of Baza.
- The plates and combs of ivory with reliefs of Carmona's necropolis.
- The anthropomorphic sarchophagus carved in marble with the figure of the deceased, of the Greek style, found in Cadiz
- The amulets with figurines of Egyptian style found in sepulchers of Cadiz and Málaga
- several other reliefs of the Phoenician or Iberian tradition but worked already with Roman influence, discovered in Osuna (such as the Bull of Osuna)
