Description: | Phallic mount attached to a fragment of sheet copper alloy, probably part of a vessel wall. The shaft is made from cast copper alloy, D-shaped in section, tapering and flattening to a pointed tip. There is a notch cut or worn or broken out of one side of the tip, and a slightly V-shaped ridge separates the tip from the rest of the phallus. The shaft continues to flare very slightly to the base. To either side of the base is a slightly oblique, slightly curving ridge which separates the phallus from the rounded testicles. The mount projects upwards, beyond the broken edge of the ?vessel, and so it can be seen that it is hollow on the reverse at least at the top. Just below the broken edge is a single ?integral rivet. The mount is 31 mm long and 21.5 mm wide at the base. The ?vessel wall fragment measures 33 x 26 mm, and is 0.5 mm thick.
