A very rare to find large bronze Roman phallic pendant.
This item which dates to circa 1st -2nd century AD, is in wonderful allover condition.
With excellent incised detail this piece shows three different symbols.
The Phallus, male genitalia and the manus fica ( closed hand with hidden thumb. )
The manus fica was to ward of evil spirits and bad luck.
This piece is incredibly rare to find especially in this size and as such would make a fabulous
centre piece to any collection.
Likely Military connections.
Size 8.0 CM x 5.4 CM.
EX. Private Lincolnshire collection.
As with all of my antiquitiesand coins this item comes complete with a display box together with a certificate of authenticity.
