- Abstract:
- The purpose of this short article is to bring a fascinating object further into the public domain and discuss it in terms of its unique imagery. A copper alloy bowl in the collection of the Yorkshire Museum (YORYM: 2010.324) has, since 2010, been displayed in the entrance hall of the museum; a factor that has yet gained it no additional attention in an academic capacity. This short contribution adds to a scheme of research undertaken by the author into the use of phallic imagery in an apotropaic fashion (Parker 2015; Parker & Ross 2016; Parker forthcoming and in prep) as part of an ongoing PhD project with the Open University investigating the archaeology of magic in Roman Britain.
