Mochica Phallic Ceramic Sculptures

These ceramic bottles, made by the Mochica culture (1–800 AD), depict anthropomorphic phallic figures. One bottle shows a penis entering a female body, detailed with vulva and pubic hair. These representations link male virility with power. Figures with exaggerated genitalia often appear with status symbols like ornate attire and elite thrones, reflecting societal hierarchies.
