ABSTRACT

The characteristics, spatial distribution, and date of five phallic ceramic vessels excavated at the late medieval fishing settlement of Walraversijde are discussed. This is followed by an overview of similar finds known from Poland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. The information from both, enhanced with insights from the literature, leads to the hypothesis that the Walraversijde vessels were used during an exceptional festivity, probably linked to the blessing of a ship in 15th-century Walraversijde, and the phallus thus was considered as an apotropaion by mariners in late medieval Flanders.

来自中世纪晚期瓦尔拉维西德（比利时奥斯坦德）捕鱼定居点的五个阴茎陶瓷器皿

摘要

讨论了在中世纪晚期瓦尔拉维西德渔村出土的五件阳具陶瓷器皿的特征、空间分布和年代。接下来是对波兰、德国、奥地利、荷兰、比利时和英国已知的类似发现的概述。来自两者的信息，加上文献中的见解，导致了这样的假设：Walraversijde 船只是在一个特殊的节日期间使用的，可能与 15 世纪 Walraversijde 的一艘船的祝福有关，因此阴茎被认为是一种截肢术由中世纪晚期法兰德斯的水手。
