| Sumario: | In this paper, first I examine briefly the bibliography about the relationship between the reliefs of the Iberian funerary monument of Pozo Moro (Chinchilla de Montearagón, Albacete) and the portable art. Until now, this discussion has concluded that there is not a clear link between the Ancient Near Eastern portable art and the Iberian funerary monument’s reliefs. But this not demonstrates the lack of close cultural references for the reliefs, but points out to the formal distance that exists between the Near Eastern art (the realm most analyzed on this subject) and the Iberian funerary monument’s iconography. I defend that, therefore, it is necessary to examine other material productions, with the purpose of finding more precise references; especially, the contemporary Italic productions, most of all Etruscan objects. Like a specific case of study, I analyze from a formal point of view the similarity that exists between some elements in the monument’s bas-reliefs and bronze productions from the so-called maritime (or Southern) Etruria. This analysis points out that several elements of the Pozo Moro’s reliefs show how were incorporated into its iconography features and concepts which were characteristic of Etruscan centres, as Vulci or Caere, at the end of the Sixth century and the beginning of the Fifth century B. C.
