Synopsis
Sheela-na-Gigs are carvings of female images depicted as naked and posing in a manner which accentuates the most powerfully evocative symbol of the vulva. They were erected on many churches of the medieval period and invariably in a prominent position such as over the main entrance door or a window., Sheela-na-gigs are carvings of female images depicted as naked and posing in a manner which accentuates the most powerfully evocative symbol of the vulva. They were erected on many medieval churches and almost invariably placed in a very prominent position, such as over the main entrance door or a window. In Ireland, where the practice continued into the later middle ages, they are found on castles and other important structures. The Sheela-na-gigs are primarily sacred religious symbols but some historians have been reluctant to treat them seriously. They are generally referred to as protective talismans or good luck symbols, and more recently the suggestion that they were put on the churches as 'warnings against sin and lust' has found favour. But tradition does not support this view. All references to them indicate that they were highly regarded, revered images that held an exalted position within the religious iconography of the earlier church. This book has been produced in the hope that we may once again be able to look at, accept and fully appreciate sheela-na-gigs and thereby begin to feel respect for these once highly esteemed aspects of our heritage. The Sheela-na-Gigs of Ireland and Britain is written from a non-academic perspective and so aims to be accessible to the general reader. The book's catalogue section is a comprehensive alphabetically listed reference to all known Sheela-na-gigs in Ireland and Britain. There are approximately 144 such figures: over a hundred in Ireland and forty in Britain. Each entry includes a description, details of the location, and a drawing., An illustrated and comprehensive account of the sheela-na-gigs (carvings of female images) of Britain and Ireland., Sheela-na-gigs are carvings of female images depicted as naked and posing in a manner which accentuates the most powerfully evocative symbol of the vulva.

- i***d (259)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGood price. Quick dispatch. Packaged super well. Item was described as perfect condition and new, but did have a tiny bit of damage on the box. It was visible in the pictures, but it's a really small dent that would be easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. Was probably a genuine mistake, and it's not an issue for me anyway. Everything else was as described, being a sealed copy. Highly recommended.
