Description from the seller
Stunning & Extreem Rare Gallo Roman Time Votive Statue 50 BC-100 AD
Very Rare Piece , Also Heavy en nice size !!!!
Stunning Age Patina.
The Gallo-Roman period is a name commonly used, particularly in Belgium and France, for the Roman period in Gaul and Gallia Belgica. Gaul and Gallia Belgica covered the area roughly corresponding to modern France, Belgium, western Switzerland, and parts of the Netherlands and Germany.
Such figurines were used in the region at the time as offerings or protective objects.
The arms are spread and the hands are open, indicating a prayer or blessing posture (adorant).
The combination of this prayer posture with a prominent phallus occurs in this period and often served as a symbol of good luck at the time.
