It’s not what you think

[tomround]

I looked at the picture and immediately thought it was the bottom of a vase

[Robs]

There's no way that is the base of a vessel as shown.. It's exactly what most of us think. I mean come on!!!! Look at the thing for crying out loud .. . 😳

The example doesn't match the specimen.

I think the museum curator is coping.

My wife wants me to ask if it's for sale.

I bet there were some bed frame post loving kind of ladies that also played with some pitchers back in those days

[perkins]

I guess most women had legless vessels

If it's from the Roman period you can bet it was fashioned after a shlonnng.

There were giants before the great flood.

Kinda like a BMW calling itself a Prius, huh?

My question over the years has always been why did they shape the vases like that was it because of aesthetic or becaues it helped the contents stay preserved longer i know they were used for wine or olive oil a lot but wouldnt a vase that you could stand up flat be better exc.

[JayJam-yo]

Id like to see the recptical that it was ment to set in 😮😮😮

[mysticalmisfit]

It definitely is what it looks like. It’s called petrification.
The whole world is scattered with the petrified past of all sorts of organisms.

Phallic symbols were common in Roman culture. That's what it is.

[jaymusson]

Not part of a case. It is what we think. They used them quite often for medical and religious as well as sexual.

[devilblueduke]

Even Roman women wanted to be satisfied 😂

[Dd-sunshine]

First thought yeah the shlong thing lol but second thought was actually a pistol (hope i spelled that right) like a morter and pistol

[jayallen]

They tell you what it is and then show you a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with it

[Wagner-pe]

My girlfriend sez it kinda looks like Mine... butt one in video longer.

[williamcarr]

Im not buying it!!! That it's the base of some ceramic vessel! That is a shlong from a statue!!!🤔
