Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A bronze quillion, or crossguard, from a dagger in the form of a fist on one end and a phallus on the other, cast as part of a rectangular piece with a round fitting drilled through it for attaching it to the handle of the dagger. Phalluses are common Roman symbols and, when depicted disembodied like this one, they were used as what Pliny wrote of as a "medicus invidiae", wards against the evil eye. Comes with custom stand. Size: 2.55" L x 0.5" W (6.5 cm x 1.3 cm); height on stand: 1.4" (3.6 cm)
