1. Title: "An Iron Age Equine Artifact: The Horse Fibula from Villanueva de Teba, Spain" This photograph showcases an Iron Age horse fibula, discovered in the archaeological site of Villanueva de Teba, Spain. The fibula, a type of brooch or fastener, dates back to the 6th or 5th century BCE, making it an invaluable relic of European prehistory. The intricately designed fibula is crafted from iron, a material that was becoming increasingly popular during the Iron Age for its durability and versatility. The horse motif is a common theme in Iron Age art and symbolizes power, strength, and mobility. This particular fibula features a stylized horse's head, with its mane and tail rendered in delicate detail. The importance of this artifact extends beyond its aesthetic value. The presence of such elaborate jewelry in Iron Age Europe indicates the emergence of complex social structures and the development of craftsmanship. The horse fibula was likely an important status symbol, worn by individuals of high social standing to signify their wealth and connection to the horse culture that dominated the Iron Age. The discovery of this horse fibula in Villanueva de Teba adds to our understanding of the rich cultural heritage of the region. It is a reminder of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in Europe and the intricate connections between art, history, and the natural world. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this Iron Age artifact. The horse fibula from Villanueva de Teba is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the role that archaeology plays in uncovering the stories of our ancestors.
