BRONZE FERTILITY CHARM WITH LARGE PHALLUS CAHRM AMULET

This is a bronze fertility figure from Java, likely originating from the Majapahit period (circa 13th–15th century CE) or an earlier Hindu-Buddhist era. The figurine depicts a stylized humanoid figure with exaggerated features, most notably an oversized phallus, symbolizing fertility, virility, and possibly ancestral worship.

The craftsmanship suggests influences from Hindu-Buddhist traditions, which were prevalent in Java before the rise of Islam in the region. Such figures were often used in fertility rituals, spiritual offerings, or tantric practices, reflecting beliefs in sexual energy as a source of life and cosmic balance. The greenish patina on the bronze indicates significant age, suggesting prolonged exposure to natural oxidation.

Possible Function & Cultural Significance:

• Likely used in fertility rites or as a symbol of prosperity and life force.
• Could have been placed in temples, homes, or burial sites to invoke blessings.
• Might have connections to Shiva worship, as phallic imagery (lingam) was common in Hindu traditions in Java.

This piece is an intriguing representation of early Javanese spiritual and artistic expression, highlighting the region’s syncretic blend of indigenous and Indic religious influences.
