Discover a unique little work of art that combines history and craftsmanship! Our phallus pendant shows an elegant riding woman holding a victory wreath.

This extraordinary artefact is on display at the Museum of Burgos.

This pendant is made of solid 925 silver and is created using the elaborate lost wax process, which is known for its attention to detail and durability. Each piece is made with the utmost care and dedication and bears the hallmark of traditional craftsmanship.

Meaning and use of a tintinnabulum

Tintinnabula were widespread lucky charms in Roman culture, often in the form of phalli or other erotic representations with small bells. These artefacts were often hung in Roman households to ward off evil spirits and promote prosperity. As lucky charms, they symbolised hope and protection and were intended to protect the wearer from evil. The tintinnabula were often hung above doors, which made the bells ring when opened.

The phallus as a lucky charm in Roman times

In Roman antiquity, the phallus was often worshipped as a sign of fertility and protection. It was regarded as a powerful symbol that promoted prosperity and a blessed life. Many Romans wore phallic amulets as lucky charms and an expression of strength and to ward off evil. This pendant therefore not only combines aesthetic beauty with historical significance, but also offers a touch of Roman faith and tradition.

Bring a piece of history into your home or as a unique gift for history and art lovers. The phallus pendant with a woman on horseback is more than just a piece of jewellery - it is a small guardian of your happiness and a messenger of the Roman past.
