Statuette of Priapus
Roman
This small, marble statuette represents the bearded god Priapus. The god wears a long cloak over his shoulders that is cinched with a high belt. He holds up his tunic to carry a bunch of fruit, which in turn reveals his erect phallus. His short legs are broken at the knees, but likely bore high-laced boots. The god slightly advances his right leg, though the feet are now lost. His hair is gathered in a bun at the back of the neck and the he wears a headband.
The area around the legs is deeply drilled and there is a drill hole under the lower right arm.
