It has recently been suggested that these pieces and the one found in Rianxo, near the Arosa Estuary in Galicia, were probably ceremonial helmets or caps, worn at an act of worship or special ritual of which they are the only remaining legacy. In keeping with this hypothesis, the decorative motifs are thought to be solar symbols.
