Warrior of Moixent, Bronze sculpture in Valencia Museum of Prehistory, Spain.

The Warrior of Moixent is a bronze figurine measuring 7.3 centimeters tall, depicting an Iberian horseman carrying a sword and shield.

The bronze figure was discovered by worker Vicente Espí in 1931 at the Bastida de les Alcusses settlement, which was destroyed in 330 BCE.

The sculpture reflects Iberian military hierarchy through its details, including a crested helmet and the presence of a horse, indicating high social status.

Visitors can examine this small bronze artifact at the Prehistory Museum of Valencia, which houses numerous Iberian archaeological discoveries.

The convergent design of the horse's legs suggests the figure served as a decorative element atop a ceremonial staff or standard bearer.
