a medieval badge showing a vagina carried by three phalluses with arms, legs, and tails
note — I found this pic online after seeing a similar one in @museecluny (albeit in worse shape) reproductions seem to be pretty widely available online so not 100% sure the photo above is an original. but the design itself is!
also, I have seen these labeled as “pilgrim badges” and while medieval pilgrims did certainly wear symbolic badges, the museum placard identified this one as a “fertility badge” so not sure if there’s a clear purpose!
it was next to some other nice phallic badges tho!
