Description: | A winged phallus with integrally cast chain loop, the phallus is a hollow cast 'cone', with a circular loop at the largest end. Holding the find with the chain loop facing up looking into the hollow cone, there is a solid half-oval 'wing' at either side of the chain loop angled at approximately 45 degrees to the loop. Immediately below each wing is a small sphere representing the testicles. The wings are badly corroded, when oriented as above the right one is smaller that the left, apparently due to more corrosion damage. The right wing shows some very shallow engraving in the form of 3 transverse lines. The tip of the phallus is badly pitted. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
