What insights into Tartessian society, art, or ritual practices do the features and context of the discovered faces offer?

The discovery of these Tartessian faces refutes the previous belief that this Southwestern Iberian civilization lacked figurative art. Their anatomical precision, including almond-shaped eyes, arched eyebrows, and expressive lips, suggests Mediterranean influences. The faces, some adorned with diadems or earrings, hint at a specialized artisan class and potentially decorative purposes.
