623 - Phallus
Indonesia
DATE ca. 15th century
AUTHOR Unknown artist - Chandi Ceto - Eastern Java - Indonesia
MEDIA Stone
SIZE Unknown
LOCATION Indonesia - Chandi Ceto - Eastern Java
NOTES Chandi Ceto is the only place in Indonesia where pre-Islamic phallus worship is still practiced. Even today Indonesian men knot horse's hair and insert it under the skin of their penises to create protuberances which intensify the woman's pleasure during intercourse. These protrudances are depicted here.
