Medieval carnival badge.
Size 35x40 mm.
The badge shows a woman (clearly married and wealthy, judging by the costume) crowning a phallus on her feet with a sceptre in her hands. Perhaps mocking female lust, ready to literally "honour the big phallus" and willing to do anything for the sake of carnal pleasure. One of the hypotheses about such stories is that images of phalluses were needed to protect buildings from evil spirits, the evil eye and other dangers. They were not worshipped, but rather seen as amulets, symbols capable of bringing good fortune and prosperity. According to many testimonies, in the Middle Ages there was an ancient belief that the phallus warded off evil and attracted good luck (hence, for example, the showing of a fig or the middle finger as a guarding gesture in superstitions). In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the genitals were regularly depicted on small metal badges - badges that archaeologists have found by the hundreds in the Netherlands, Northern France and England. Netherlands, 1400-1450. Based on the book "Sieraad en devotie in middeleews vlaandreen" by Jos Kolderweij.
