c. 100-300 AD. Roman. A spectacular bronze pendant comprising a double phallus joined at the testes and decorated with lightly incised lines demarcating the glans from the shaft. Phallic charms, often winged, were ubiquitous in Roman culture and relate to the fascinus or fascinum which was the embodiment of the divine phallus. The word can refer to the deity himself (Fascinus), to phallus effigies and amulets, and to the spells used to invoke his divine protection against evil. Excellent Condition. Wearable. Size: L:20mm / W:42mm ; 15.2g; Provenance: Obtained from a B.C.F; previously in a collection formed in the 1980s on the UK art market.
