✨Pan riding an ithyphallic mule✨
The Greek god Pan was connected with flocks and shepherds so it perhaps only fitting that he is depicted here upon a mule, who is faithfully rendered complete with phallus.
This piece is thought to a Roman relief modelled upon an earlier Hellenistic era relief and it is now held in the MAN Napoli, inv. 27712.

“I cannot be sure whether you refer to the 9th Degree story in the Book of Judges where Samson killed a lion with the jaw bone of an ass (the ass of course being sacred to Priapus). He returns the next day and find himself hungry; going to the carcass of the lion, he finds that bees have swarmed in it, and gets their honey. This is only one of several stories in the Old Testament where the 9th Degree is definitely advertised.”

Ein Stößel für Kosmetik, der Teil einer Statue, oder doch ein Sexspielzeug? Ein Holzfund aus dem Römerkastell Vindolanda in Nordengland gibt Archäologen Rätsel auf.
Ein Dildo aus der Römerzeit?

I still need to apply a top coat, trim some edges, press it flatter, etc. but here's the finished collage! ☺️
Another devotional piece for Priapus; this one is intended as a shrine piece or for home and garden protection.
Latin text is Priapea 73, which translates as "O Priapus, faithful protector of orchards, warn off the thieves with thy red-painted amulet." (Source: https://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/priap/prp73.htm )

CW: genital and religious references in art
Here's a little devotional art piece, and my first time collaging a little box like this!
This is a condom carrier that was a freebie with another purchase, and the art is, of course, in honor of Priapus, for whom I've done other artworks in the past. 🌶️
