Description: | Copper alloy object, probably a hand and phallus amulet. Corroded particularly around fingers. Central pieced oval section has vertical ribbing on the front; projections to each side are flat backed; one is probably a phallus, while the other resembles an arm with a bracelet (?) and a hand, possibly clenched to a fist (the second digit looks fairly complete?). Length 43mm, height at centre 10mm, hole max diam. 7mm. Simple fist/phallus pendants are common in bone (Green 1976 Pl. 26 a, from Verulamium), no detailed parallel for central moulding etc located. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
