| Description | The figure is very roughly cast and is very stylised, resembling a jelly baby. It has very simple circle eyes and a bump for a nose which is higher up the face than the eyes. He has a rounded stomach and very exaggerated erect phallus. This object is probably a fertility symbol perhaps dating to the Roman period? (PAS) |
