Roman phallus pendant
The first depictions of phallic symbols date back to the Neolithic period. It has always stood for male strength and fertility. In Roman times, phallic representations were also attributed a lucky effect. It is therefore no wonder that men adorned themselves with pieces of jewelry such as this Roman phallus pendant.
The phallus - a piece of misunderstood symbolism
In ancient times, human sexuality was neither considered "dirty" nor "reprehensible". Quite the opposite. Sexuality was a completely normal part of human existence. Like food and drink, it was one of the basic human needs. Pieces of jewelry such as this beautiful, true-to-the-original phallus pendant were primarily seen as lucky charms and were worn by many people. It was not until Christianization that the phallus symbol took on an impure character.
Lucky charm from antiquity
This phallus pendant is modeled on an original find. The symbolism promises luck that comes on wings. As in ancient times, this talisman was cast from bronze and then polished by hand. With this phallus pendant, luck will accompany you on all your journeys and be a special kind of talisman.

The phallus symbol in other cultures
Even today, the phallus representation still has an important symbolic meaning in many regions and faiths around the world. In Hinduism, for example, the image of the male sex still stands for the pure, powerful act of procreation and therefore also represents divine creation. Phallus pendants were also worn in ancient Egypt and Greece to prove virility and to help with the desire to have children. This is still the case for many African peoples today. A phallus pendant should therefore be viewed purely symbolically and not in terms of Christian moral concepts.
The Phallus Museum
In the Phallus Museum in Reijkjavik / Iceland you can see many hundreds of artifacts from all possible eras. For example, phallus pendants like this one, which was worn in Rome in the first century AD.
