Re: Ballachulish figurine
Mar 06, 2010, 13:44
Think I read the Sweet Track figure was possibly a hermaphrodite! There was a hollow in the genital area which someone suggested could have been for a removable phallus!

Also read something in Miranda Green's book The Quest For The Shaman that transgendered people or animals were linked to some ritual beliefs being able to change from one thing to another or humans taking on spirits of animals and transforming into them.

Also beleive that the carving of wooden figures lasted well into the iron age
