The Priest of Cadiz is a gold and bronze figure, 12.9 cm high, that dates from the 8th century BC.

[1] The figure was found in 1928, during the foundation work of the Telefónica building in Cadiz.

According to recent studies, the figure is considered to represent a priest of the temple of Melqart.

The figure is identified as a divinity because of posture and clothes, the attributes he holds in his hands and the gold band across his face.

[4] The figure was imported possibly from Phoenicia because of its bronze, incorporating arsenic and zinc composition.
