Almost all extant works of Iberian sculpture visibly reflect Ancient Greece Greek and Phoenicia n influences, and Assyria n and Egypt ian influences derived from those yet they have their own unique character. Within this complex stylistic heritage, individual works can be placed within a spectrum of influences some of more obvious Phoenician derivation, and some so similar to Greek works that they could have been directly imported from that region. Overall the degree of influence is correlated to the work s region of origin, and hence they are classified into groups on that basis. The Levantine Group File Bicha de Balazote M.A.N.
