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)

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or group:
“As it grew darker, I was startled by the honking of geese flying low over the woods, like weary travellers getting in late from Southern lakes, and indulging at last in unrestrained complaint and mutual consolation. Standing at my door, I could hear the rush of their wings; when, driving toward my house, they suddenly spied my light, and with hushed clamor wheeled and settled in the pond. So I came in, and shut the door, and passed my first spring night in the woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We often overestimate the influence of a peer group on our teenager. While the peer group is most influential in matters of taste and preference, we parents are most influential in more abiding matters of standards, beliefs, and values.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
