Roman Style Bronze Walking Phallus
20th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,235
Figure modelled in the round, the upper body a phallus, the lower body wearing a tunic and in a dancing pose, after the antique; mounted on a custom-made stand. 374 grams, 15.5 cm including stand
From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate, thence by descent.
In antiquity the phallic upper part would normally have have been covered by a separate bell-shaped casting of a grotesque figure wearing a waist-length hooded cape, probably inside a Gallo-Roman bronze statuette of the fertility god Priapus. -
