Abstract


This paper highlights the existence of several representations of wild boar primarily on zoomorphic fibulae, in the Western Meseta, which was a Celtic language speaking area. We point out the possible relationship with the European Celtic world, where the boar played an important role and where many boar figurines have been found.
