Nude crouching figure wearing a wreath, large phallus broken away

Nude crouching figure wearing a wreath, large phallus broken away. Dimensions: H. 4.7 × W. 1.9 × D. 1.8 cm (1 7/8 × 3/4 × 11/16 in.). Date: 664-30 B.C..
The small figure wearing a leafy crown crouches with his knees raised on either side of a large broken away area; the broken element was an oversized phallus based on traces and many parallels. The identity of the figure is unclear, but is likely connected with the complex of informal statuary including many ithyphallic figures in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods. In general these informal figurines are thought to be connected with festivals celebrating a divine birth.
