1. Title: Iberian Kernos: A Triangular Ceramic Vessel from the Iberian Culture, 3rd Century BC, Moli de l'Espigol Site, Lleida, Catalonia, Spain This image showcases an Iberian Kernos, a triangular-shaped ceramic artifact dating back to the 3rd century BC. Originating from the Moli de l'Espigol archaeological site in the Municipality of Tornabous, Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, this piece is now housed in the Museu Comarcal de l'Urgell-Tarrega in Tarrega. The Iberian Kernos is a unique and intriguing object, composed of three small piriform (pear-shaped) goblets on a rounded base. Each goblet features a wide bulb and narrow neck, fused with three brackets. This design suggests that the kernos was used for libations or offerings, likely as part of purification or ritual practices within the Iberian culture. The Iberian civilization, also known as the Ilergetes, thrived in the Mediterranean region of Europe, particularly in present-day Spain, from the 6th to the 1st century BC. This culture, which predates the Roman era, is known for its diverse artistic expressions, including intricate pottery and ceramics. The Iberian Kernos is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Iberian people. Its discovery at the Moli de l'Espigol site adds to our understanding of the daily life and religious practices of this ancient civilization. The kernos' elegant design and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to the collections of the Museu Comarcal de l'Urgell-Tarrega. This image offers a glimpse into the ancient world of the Iberians, providing a connection to their history and the intriguing customs and beliefs of the pre-Roman peoples of Europe.
