It was not considered obscene in antiquity — it was considered divine. It appeared on military standards, on the walls of Pompeii, on amulets worn by Roman generals and emperors. To wear it was to invoke protection, strength, and the generative force of life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charm captures that ancient protective symbol in hand-carved bonded marble — the marble body of the phallus set against translucent sterling silver wings. A sterling silver lobster clasp allows it to be attached to a necklace, bracelet, keychain, or bag. The contrast between the texture of the marble and the precision of the silver wings gives the piece the quality of an archaeological object — something excavated rather than manufactured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same symbol on a 50 cm anchor chain, explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/macabregadgets.com\/products\/fascinus-pendant\" title=\"Fascinus pendant by Macabre Gadgets\"\u003eFascinus pendant\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of THEA — a line of mythological and architectural jewelry by Macabre Gadgets, inspired by Ancient Greek and Roman art.
