Celtic Wall Hanging Sheela-Na-Gig figures appeared all over old Irish churches built before the 16th century, but Victorian prudery resulted in the defacement or destruction of large numbers of them. Some have been embellished. She is represented usually as a naked woman, squatting with knees apart, displaying her vulva and often presenting it with both hands. The term Sheela-Na-Gig means something like ìVulva-Womanî. Celts generally protected doorways with some female-genital fetish. Sheela-Na-Gig figures closely resembled the yonic statues of Kali which still appear at the entrance to Hindu temples where visitors lick a finger and touch the yoni for luck. | | | Features: | |

She's wild!Sep 17, 2010
By Dr. K
It is hard to find Sheela-Na-Gig figures anywhere since they are a bit vulgar to look at. But if you are a fan of these medieval church decorations (there is great controversy about what exactly they represent) this one is great. She doesn't stand up so she needs to be hung on a wall.

Open Wide!Mar 13, 2009

Bought this as a protective deity for a Celtic friend. He's still looking for a place for it, having ruled out the bumper hitch on his Jeep.
