0004 - Ivory box

Decorated ivory box from Tomb 2. This is a typical decoration present in many boxes made of different (ivory, bone, limestone) materials that occur in the Southern half of Iberia. In Portugal, they are frequent in Estremadura. In Perdigões there are several exemplars from Tombs 1 and 2.
