IT’S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!💥
Today’s theme is #SauciestObject for #Valentines!❤️
We're starting with a parade of private parts!
This Roman bowl bears 4 double-ended phalluses, each facing a disembodied vulva. There's even a phallic creature on the bottom too...
BEAT THAT💥

The quirky scene on the base shows a figure riding a lion-like beast which has three phalluses, including one for a head and a tail! Although you’d be forgiven for thinking we were making this stuff up...
Whilst the artist gets full marks for imagination, the image is really low quality and might be a poorly cast copy of a scene from elsewhere in the Roman World. In fact the bowl is so wacky that our best guess is that it’s a Roman bowl with later additions to make it extra #saucy
@YorkshireMuseum However, for this #CURATORBATTLE for #CreepiestObject we are offering up not just one , but an entire case of them @ #CliffeCastle We have a Witches ball, Devil's drumstick, comfit filled walking sticks, a couple of 'protective charms' and a heart studded with nails...
@YorkshireMuseum A protective charm
@YorkshireMuseum And the two headed sheep we forgot to mention in the intro. Well, it needs no introduction really (that's our excuse and we're sticking to it)
