Iberian sculptures, The Lady of Cerro de los Santos Lady of Cerro de los Santos is an Iberian sculpture from the 2nd century BCE. This limestone sculpture depicts a full-length standing female figure and was found in 1870 in the sanctuary of Cerro de los Santos in Montealegre del Castillo in Albacete province, Spain. The statue is sometimes called the Gran Dama Oferente because she is holding a container in her two hands and appears to be offering it. She is richly clad in three overlapping robes clasped with a fibula, or brooch, at the neck. Braided hair falls past her three necklaces. She is wearing fitted shoes. A rodete or wheel headgear appears on one side of her hair if there was a similar one on the other side, it has been broken off. Like another contemporary Phoenician-influenced Iberian female sculpture, the Lady of Baza, her drapery falls in a zigzag pattern. Iberian sculptures, Lady of Guardamar Lady of Guardamar is a limestone female bust, dated from 400 BCE. It was discovered in the Phoenician archaeological site of Cabezo Lucero in Guardamar del Segura in Alicante province, Spain, in 1987. A large piece of a stone rodete (wheel headgear) was found first, at a shallow depth. There followed other fragments of the bust of an Iberian lady, and one large piece included the headdress, face and neck, which were found to have similarities to the Iberian bust, Lady of Elche. The sculpture had been hammered to fragments and even burnt in places. The sculpture is of fine-grained greyish limestone. The Lady is wearing a tunic with a round neckline. A scalloped headband crosses the brow and connects the rodetes, which represent hollow wheels, probably of thin metal, on each side. Above the headband and rodetes the Lady wears a mantle with finely carved drapery details. The necklaces the Lady wears are each different one is composed of seven bullae which are all the same except for the central one, which is grooved. Below it is another necklace that has larger bullae, some shaped like curved triangles and some semicircular at the bottom. The string of beads worn second from the neck has olive-shaped, spherical and flat beads, above it is a string of spherical beads with two plates at the center. In style, the Lady of Guardamar is a bit more archaic than the Lady of Baza or the Lady of Elche, with features more Iberian. As nothing from the site is more recent than 300 BCE, and the site flourished between 430 and 350 BCE, it seems likely that the Lady dates from 400 to 370 BCE. Iberian sculptures, The Lady of Galera Lady of Galera is an alabaster female figurine, made in the 7th century BCE, that probably represents the Near Eastern goddess Astarte. The Lady of Galera is most likely of Phoenician manufacture. She sits between two sphinxes and holds a bowl for liquid that poured from two holes in her breasts. Her hair and costume show Egyptian influences, but the sturdy form also resembles Mesopotamian statues. She may have lasted through several generations as a sacred object before being buried as grave goods. The figurine was found in Galera, a Spanish town in Granada province. Nearby is the Iberian Necropolis of Tutugi, an important archeological site with various kinds of tombs. The most common type of tomb there consists of a rectangular chamber covered by a circular mound, which is reached via a long corridor. Artifacts discovered in these tombs include Phoenician, Greek and Iberian vases, ornaments, weapons, furniture and figures of clay and alabaster, dating between the third and sixth centuries BCE. Iberian sculptures, The Lady of Baza The Lady of Baza is a famous example of Iberian sculpture by the Bastetani. The Bastetani or Bastuli were an ancient Iberian (pre-Roman) people of the Iberian Peninsula. It is a limestone female figure with traces of painted details on the surface. It was found in 1971 in Baza, in the Altiplano de Granada, the high tableland in the northeast of the province of Granada. The town of Baza was the site of the Ibero-Roman city of Basti and, in one of its two necropoleis, the Cerro del Santuario, the Lady of Baza was recovered. She is seated in an armchair, and an open space on the side is thought to have contained ashes from a cremation. The sculpture's name links it in the popular imagination to its more famous cousin, the Lady of Elche. After conservation, the sculpture, which dates to the fourth century BCE, joined the enigmatic Lady of Elche deposited in the National Archaeological Museum of Spain in Madrid. Iberian sculptures, The Lady of Ibiza The Lady of Ibiza is a 47 cm tall ceramic figure, from the third century BCE. The figure was found in the necropolis of Puig des Molins on the island of Ibiza. It was made using a mold and has a cavity in the back, perhaps used for hanging it up. She is richly ornamented in terms of clothing and jewelry. Most of the figures found in the Puig des Molins necropolis are representations of Greek goddesses. It is believed that there was a large colony of immigrants there from Magna Graecia, (the Greek colonies of southern Italy), over the centuries. The lady of Ibiza may also represent a Carthaginian female figure. Iberian sculptures, The Lady of Elche The "Lady of Elche" is a masterpiece of ancient Iberian culture, discovered in 1897, at La Alcudia, south of Elche, Spain. It is now exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum of Spain in Madrid. Carved in the round, the sculpture represents a woman with an idealized face, richly garbed and bejeweled. Made of limestone in the late 5th-early 4th century BCE, the "Lady of Elche" was originally polychromed and the eyes were filled with vitreous paste. Numerous theories of authorship exist, but today most believe that an Iberian commissioned it from a sculptor who was Greek or trained in Greek workshops. The artisanship suggests strong Hellenistic influences. The Lady of Elche is believed to have a direct association with Tanit, the goddess of Carthage. The "Lady of Elche" was discovered by chance at the archaeological site of La Alcudia and soon after was sold to the Muse du Louvre in Paris. It was displayed there until 1941, when the French and Spanish governments negotiated its return to Spain. The singular nature of this sculpture has made it an icon of Iberian archaeology. Numerous hypotheses have been posited about the aperture at the back and its possible function: as a slot to accommodate a bracket for attaching the bust to the wall as a reliquary and the most widely acceptedas a possible funerary urn. There are three hypotheses regarding its form: a busy, with similarities to other Iberian sculptures (Baza, Elche) a full-length sculpture, like the "Great Lady Offerant of Cerro de los Santos" and a seated figure, a time-honored tradition in Iberian statuary. The lady's identity is a mystery but she is attributed both a human and divine nature. Nowadays, the sculpture is interpreted as the portrait of an Iberian aristocratic woman who was deified by her descendants. Iberian sculptures, Introduction : The Southern, the Western and the Central Groups 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 like the sculptural set of Cerrillo Blanco and of The Pajarillo, the Punic stela of Villaricos, the Lady of Baza. In this group, the anthropomorphic sarcophagus carved in marble with the figure of the deceased are of the Greek style. Other influences can be seen in the amulets with figurines of Egyptian style found in sepulchers of Cadiz and Mlaga. The western group is composed of granite funeral stelae from Portugal and Galicia that represent foot soldiers dressed in tunics and armed with round shields. These sculptures are relatively coarsely worked. Some of them bear Roman inscriptions, which were probably added long after the figures were carved. In the center of the Peninsula, between the rivers Douro and Tagus there are many granite sculptures roughly carved in the form of bulls, or perhaps some other animal. The most famous of these monuments in the Central Group are the four known as the Bulls of Guisando. Illustration : Torito of Porcuna Iberian sculptures, Introduction : The Levantine Group The sculptures that comprise the Levantine group were mostly made between the 5th century BCE and the period of Roman domination. The most famous among them is the bust known as The Lady of Elche, which displays evident Greek influence. More visibly oriental references, possibly influenced by the Egyptian sphinx and the Assyrian Lamassu, are evident in the various stone sculptures found in the area of Valencia, Alicante, and Albacete. They include: the Bicha of Balazote, the Sphinx of Agost and of Salobral, the Lioness of Bocairent and of El Zaricejo, the Lion of Coy and of Baena, the Deer of Caudete and the Lady of Caudete. The numerous statues of bronze (some of silver) found in two places of the region of Sierra Morena in the province of Jan can be considered to be more indigenous derivatives of the initial, Greek and oriental- influenced, Levantine sculptural style. In the period between the 5th century BCE and the 5th century CE, sanctuaries like Montealegre used small bronze castings, rather than stone carvings, as votive offerings. A great deal of Greek and Punic statues and busts in Terracotta have been uncovered at the necropolis of Ibiza, La Palma, and Formentera. The oldest have been dated to the 8th century BCE, and they most likely continued to be made up to Roman domination, for example the Lady of Ibiza and the Praying Terracotta Figurines (3rd century BCE). Pieces also considered to be of Phoenician or Punic origin but with Greek influence include the bronze heads of bulls (probably votive offerings) found in Majorca. A very early Phoenician piece from Galera, Granada depicts a seated female, perhaps the Near Eastern goddess Astarte, flanked by sphinxes. Known as the Lady of Galera, it is an alabaster female figurine, made in the 7th century BCE. Illustration : The Lady of Caudete "Artwork under repair." The pink thing. Now with added black tarps.

The mirror pond at Neak Poan temple A morning bike to Neak Pean/Neak Poan (Khmer: , the entwined serpents) is a fresh morning bike trip. The main temple tower dedicated to Avalokitesvara is this one in the mirror pond is worth the trip itself. Neak Pean was built as a retreat and healing place at an artificial island. This island was put in the centre of a man made Baray/lake and water-reservoir. In memory and honour of Dad The surrounding Jayatataka Baray lays due east of the Preah Khan temple. This is the large temple complex J7 built in honour of his father. Jayavarman VII had clear visions as mighty ruler of the Khmer Empire. This was the most beautiful of the more than 110 hospitals he initiated build for his people all over the core parts of his Empire. It is an architectural and water engineering marvel. Placed close by the large temple built in memory of his dad. Tips for visits Neak Pean is normally part of the Grand Circuit Tours of Angkor Park. It should be visited early after sunrise, before the soft breeze of the day breaks up the internal mirror pond tranquillity.

These demonstrations arose in response to the expansion of ooficially declared danger zones in Hamburg, (Gefahrengebiete) which allowed police to conduct body searches and other invasive measures without requiring concrete suspicion. As a form of resistance, protesters carried toilet brushes under their jackets, mimicking concealed weapons. This tactic was meant to confuse law enforcement and draw attention to the broadening of police powers.
