Product description
This humorous pin is inspired by a secular medieval badge, featuring a crude-erotic depiction that was common in the late Middle Ages and intended for general amusement. The design shows a male figure peering through his own legs, presenting his fully exposed buttocks, with his erect member clearly visible. Such playful and bold images were typical of medieval entertainment.
The historical model for this badge was made of pewter and originated in the Netherlands, dating from 1325 to 1375 AD. The replica is crafted from high-quality silver-plated bronze, with a pin on the back so it can be attached to clothing or a headdress, much like in medieval times. The badge measures 3 x 3.5 cm.
These crude-erotic badges represent a subgroup of secular medieval badges, alongside other motifs like copulating couples, phallic trees, or anthropomorphized genitalia, such as phallic animals or winged vulvas. The most likely purpose of these badges was to address sexuality through humor, using them as joking love tokens or playful tools for initiating conversations about sex.
