Description

Jug with a half-round spout on the edge of the mouth and a patent careening in the lower third of the piece. It has three molded ribbon handles that start from the neck and die in the hull. The upper part of the belly shows applied plastic decoration of phallic motifs arranged vertically with the glans up.

Three phalluses remain in the front and the remains of another in the back, although it seems likely that there were more decorating the entire perimeter. These phallic motifs are apotropaic (protection) and fertility elements. There are several examples of Roman jugs with phallic decoration similar to this piece, although the number of handles they have varies (four, two or one), the type of spout (cylindrical or open) and/or the arrangement of the decoration.
