Abstract

In this paper we present a fretworked ceramic vase which was discovered in the excavations of the Eastern gate at the Contestanian-Iberian site of Coimbra del Barranco Ancho (Jumilla, Murcia). This piece of pottery, which can be dated back to the 3rd century BC, is catalogued as "singular vase" due to its excellent manufacture and, especially, for presenting on each of its feet a modeled wolf head with great detail. This fact can be found in other typologies, but has never been documented on fretworked vases. Considering the symbolic role of this animal in the Iberian culture and its relation with aristocratic initiation and passage rites, a ritual function is proposed for this vessel which, according to its features, could have been used as a brazier or incense-burner in these ceremonies.
