拍品描述

A LARGE ROMAN MARBLE PHALLUS, CIRCA 1ST CENTURY A.D.Carved from pale, coarse-grained marble, this monumental phallic sculpture is rendered in the round with a naturalistic, robust form. The surface is textured with tool marks and subtle ochre patination, highlighting the anatomical contours and rounded modelling of the glans and shaft. The overall silhouette is bold and upright, with carefully defined lines accentuating the vertical axis and anatomical detail.The sculpture’s imposing scale and stylised realism are characteristic of Roman votive and apotropaic tradition, intended to invoke fertility, protection, and good fortune. The marble’s granular matrix and weathered finish attest to its antiquity and enduring presence.Measurements:Height: 85cmWeight: 54kg
