ROMAN BRONZE PHALLIC PENDANT WITH MANUS FICA GESTURE
ROMAN BRONZE PHALLIC PENDANT WITH MANUS FICA GESTURE
Item Details
Description
Ca. 200 AD. A bronze phallic pendant featuring a central relief representation of male genitals, flanked by an erect phallus and a hand with a clenched fist in the manus fica gesture. The gesture involves balling the hand into a fist and placing the thumb between the index and middle fingers, a gesture that was believed to ward off evil and protect the wearer from harm. Phallic pendants were popular accessories in ancient Rome and were often worn as a talisman to promote fertility, virility, and good fortune. They were typically worn by men, but some women also wore phallic pendants to promote fertility or as a symbol of sexual liberation. The pendants were often made of bronze or other metals and featured intricate designs and engravings. For a similar example, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 60.117.7. Size: L:48.4mm / W:63.6mm ; 32g Provenance: Ex Morgan Collections 1990s.
