🍆Choose your steed wisely🍆

This Roman chariot race comes with a phallic twist! This example of Barbotine ware is brimming with phallic details as the usual race horses take a break and some substitutes step up to the task. Of course it’s #PhallusThursday

#AncientRome
Description from the museum: “Large beaker of colour-coated (Colchester) ware, with barbotine decoration showing a chariot-race, the chariots being drawn by teams of phalluses, which run on cocks' legs. Various other phalluses are dotted about the scene, also a couple indulging in sexual intercourse, after a fashion.” 🏛 MAA, Cambridge

🍆 #PhallusThursday has arrived in all its bronze glory 🍆

This phallic creature was most likely a tintinnabulum (wind chime) as we can see the loops on the bottoms of its legs to support chains with bells. As always we wish you great good fortune!

This beauty has a phallic head, wings, its own phallus, and you can see a curved phallic tail as well, just for good measure. This example is held by the Museum August Kestner in Hanover, inventory no. 1999.3.
