Description
Small sculpture of a seat carved in a local stone. It shows a person sitting on a throne with a glass of offerings in the hand. It might be a votive offering, or rather to a deity, currently unknown, probably related to ancient indigenous religions. This sculpture is broken into two fragments; the fragment corresponding to the body was found outside its original context, in the levels of amortization of the manor house in 1995, while the portion corresponding to the arm with a glass of offerings was collected on the surface of the fields that now make up the archaeological park in the 1970s by the local amateur archaeologist Ramon Ribera.
