From the end of the 1990’s a set of Iron Age bronzes is conserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Lisbon. They are qualified as unknown origin although they come wide probably from the Low Guadiana region. The set consists of more than one hundred objects, highlighting the components of carriage and horse harness, but there are also some remains of vessels, a spit and ornament elements. Some of the most outstanding pieces have been presented or referred to in a preliminary way, but the bulk of the set remained still unpublished. A detailed study including its contextualisation in the Iron Age of the South Portugal waited to be done. In this paper we face this approach because we believe that is one of the Post-orientalizing bronze sets more complete and more important in the Southwestern Iberian peninsula.
