Classify the Lady of Elche.




To me she looks like a stylized Iberoid type. I remember Dienekes posted once a woman who was very similar to the sculpture.

By the way, while seraching for pictures of Iberian art I found this depiction of a kiss made three or two centuries B.C.

Her jaw looks more Alpine than Mediterranean. She has a very weird nose. Very up-rooted and extremely thin.

I think this sort of art is too 'stylized' to be a good basis for classification. I'll give it my shot and say that she's Upper Palaeolithic of some sort.
