In the environs of the city of Ipolca, today’s town of Porcuna (Jaén), the Iberian civilisation
left behind one of the most outstanding sculptural ensembles of Antiquity, made up of 27 groups
of figures and hundreds of fragments dating from the 7th to the 2nd centuries BC. Despite its great
relevance, there are very few scientific studies that serve as a basis for understanding the many
questions that remain about how they were made, their significance, and their relationship to the
culture that gave rise to them. This article studies the polychrome techniques used in the sculptures
and puts them into context in Iberian art. The research has been carried out on original pieces from
the Archaeological Museum of Jaén using stereoscopic optical microscopy (SOM), petrographic
microscopy (PM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopyenergy
dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX).
