The Sheela-na-Gigs of Ireland and Britain: The Divine Hag of the Christian Celts - An Illustrated Guide
Sheela-na-Gigs are carvings of female images depicted as naked and posing in a manner which accentuates the evocative symbol of the vulva. They were erected on many churches of the medieval period and invariably in a prominent position. This book takes a non-academic look at these artifacts.
