EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Romano-British Priapic figure, crafted from limestone during the Roman Imperial Period. Standing at a height of 19.5 cm, this ancient sculpture exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The figure is depicted in a seated position, with its head missing, adding to the enigmatic allure of the artwork. The focal point of this statuette lies in its prominent phallus, symbolizing fertility and virility in ancient Rome. This provocative element serves as a testament to the Romans' fascination with sexuality and their belief in its power to bring abundance and prosperity. Despite being headless, this statue emanates a sense of strength and authority through its posture and intricate detailing. Every curve and contour has been meticulously carved by skilled hands, showcasing the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Now part of a private collection, this photograph captures every nuance and texture of the original sculpture. Thanks to eHeini Schneebeli's expert photography skills, viewers can appreciate each delicate feature up close. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another stunning piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – an exquisite representation of Roman artistry that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
