Ridiculous? Yes. Historically appropriate? Also yes.
This is the tenth installment in an ongoing series! No silly nickname for this one, but to date, we have had Spotted Dick, Frankenweenie, Blue Balls, and the Beenis. Let it never be said that this is a serious place.
Phallic tokens, both with and without wings, were a common motif in ancient Rome - in jewelry, in art, and in household objects - alleged to ward off the evil eye. (Sure.) For those who’d like to do the reading, Wikipedia has much to offer to start you off on the subject! For those who wouldn’t: just consider this a slightly offbeat installment in the ongoing series of historical objects gone Changeling.
As always, every winged piece is unique! Each one begins by matching a stone to one of my many wing doodles, inspired by insects, fantasy art, and natural shapes. Using my drawings as a template, I sculpt the wings in wax wire, and then build shape and texture with heat! No two are ever quite alike.
