Description: | A cast copper-alloy phallic mount of Roman date.
The mount is T-shaped in plan. The largest element consists of a tapering penis shaft and head. The shaft is triangular in section. At the base of the shaft and to either side are the testicles, separated from the shaft by a collar.
The underside of the object is flat, with a broken shank at each end of the mount.
This object was found by divers in the River Tyne downstream from the Roman bridge at Corbridge. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
