Abstract

An Annulus aureus of high quality found in Niebla offers a representation of a dressed goodness which suckles the prince heir with the perfume of everlasting life. Its style seems to be Ionian-Tartessian, dated at about 560 a.C.; at the same time it offers parallels dated to the IV century B.C. This annulus aureus, inspired by the iconography of Isis with Horus, seems to be related to the oriental myth of Astart-Asherat suckling the king; this aspect could suggest that the annulus belonged to a holy king from the Tartessian town of Ilipla, Niebla (Huelva, Spain).
