Sheela na gigs

Sheela-Na-Gig Tattoos
Sheela-na-gigs are female carvings found on walls, abbeys, convents, churches, pillars and other structures in Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France and Spain. They come in many different shapes and sizes, but all share the same characteristic of a prominent and often enlarged genitals, often held open by the figure's hands. Most date from the middle ages. Unfortunately, no literature survives from medieval times to give us clues as to why these explicit figures were carved and why they were placed so often on religious edifices.
