100 Days of Happiness - Day 41 (probably NSFW!)

[amberdreams]

Posting today's happy moment before the day is over because I doubt if anything will top this little find in the Roman gallery of the new museum today. It certainly made me and my Mum laugh (not sure my poor Dad knew what was so funny, even when I stole his camera to take this close up!).
We were so amused by the triangular pointiness of the peen, we forgot to look to see what the archaeologists think this decorative bronze item was for. It was only about 2 inches in circumference. We were rather taken with the curly pubes, very artistic!!


Addendum: I was showing Mum how to import photos from iPhoto into Facebook and as a result she now has this peen on her Page with a disclaimer saying I posted it for her!! I told her she could delete it or hide it but she hasn't done that yet so in the meantime, all her organic gardening friends will be getting an eyeful of Roman willie.

Romans and Greeks apparently had a thing for sculpting and painting peens in detail. It always cracks me the eff up. "Here this is a PEEN with curly pubes and the sizes of a pinky, have at it!"

IKR? And then presumably they fixed this little gem to some leather accoutrement and proudly paraded round with mini-peen on show...but what message would it be giving, I wonder? Being so tiddly and all...

Your story really cracked me up ;) Your mom rocks and her "organic gardening friends" have finally something to talk about beside gardening :D :D :D

I like to think they are looking at her page right now and wondering how it went from potato planting to this...

I want that as a light switch!

Well if Romans had had electricity you can bet they would have had peen light switches!
After all, they did have oil lamps like this...
