ESS-E6F9E3 Roman figurine of Priapus |
||
| Description |
English: Roman cast copper alloy figurine of Priapus (god of fertility and protection), formed of a standing human figure. The bearded head is looking slightly to its right. The figure is robed, with cast curves over the chest and back to represent the fabric draping. The robe is raised at the front to reveal an errect phallus. The figures arms are bent, holding bunches of grapes above and to either side of the phallus. The legs are cast together, tapering in thickness towards the ankles, with no definition cast for the knees. There is a raised moulding around the ankles, presumably representing footware. The feet are cast together and face forward. The base of the feet are flat. There is an indent in the centre of the figures back.
The figurine is 80.26mm tall, 13.12mm wide and 11.27mm thick across the head. 23.34mm wide, 11.21mm thick across the shoulders. 27.59mm wide across the arms. 26.22mm thick from phallus to back. 9.89mm wide by 12.89mm thick at the base. It weighs 82.6 grams.
