Image description

Egra is today known as Cheb in the Czech Republic; function of these sculptures is almost certainly similar to Sheela-na-Gigs (see 405771 and 405772); the use and symbolism is disputed, perhaps a fertility figure, to keep evil spirits away, protection of buildings or survival of a pagan goddess cult; illustration from 'The Worship of Priapus' by Richard Payne Knight (1750-1820) published in 1786 for the Dilettanti Society and reprinted in 1865;
