Abstract
During the 2018 excavation in the southern cemetery of Tharros – Capo San Marco a small sculpture made in the local stone was brought to light. The morphology of this artifact suggests some connection with other elements of the funerary and votive sphere in the Punic world. The statuette seems to have filled a role of protection and probably held a particular significance within the funerary eschatology.File in questo prodotto:
