- Abstract
We present an exceptional figured vessel found in the recent archaeological excavations carried out in the iberian oppidum of El Cabeço de Mariola, on the dividing line between the current provinces of Alicante and Valencia. In the first place, its archaeological context is described, a house destroyed in the beginning of the 1st cent. BC. The second part deals in detail with the analysis of the vessel and its images, which depict two offering scenes accompanied by processional dances and music. These ritual practices are associated to agrarian cults deeply rooted in the ancient Mediterranean, related to divinities linked to grain and wine, to whom the first fruits are offered.
