Stele of Magacela, Bronze Age warrior memorial in National Archaeological Museum, Spain.

The slate stele measures 142 centimeters in height and 35 centimeters in width, displaying a warrior figure with weapons and protective equipment.

The stele dates back to 1100 BCE and remained part of an orchard wall in Magacela until Juan Delgado Torres discovered it in 1950.

The carved surface presents a male figure wearing a horned helmet, accompanied by a spear, sword, and shield pointing downward in funerary arrangement.

Visitors can examine this prehistoric monument at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, where it stands among other Bronze Age artifacts.

The stele combines dark gray slate material with linear artistic techniques to document warfare traditions of ancient southwestern Iberian societies.
