ROMAN BRONZE PHALLUS PENDANT
Item Details
Description
Ca. 100-200 AD. A bronze pendant exquisitely cast in the unmistakable form of a phallus, exhibits stylized testicles and a suspension loop, underscoring its intended function as a wearable adornment. The bold choice of subject matter in this pendant alludes to the complex tapestry of Roman society, where the phallus was laden with multifaceted meanings ranging from fertility and protection to expressions of humour. In the Roman world, phallus pendants were not only prized as decorative pieces but also held talismanic significance, often believed to bestow good fortune and ward off malevolent influences. Size: L:19.4mm / W:33.3mm ; 16.76g Provenance: Private London collection, pre-2000s.
