An intricately needle felted brooch of the iconic Sheela Na Gig.
Sheela Na Gigs are ancient grotesques dating back to the 12th Century. Scattered around Europe, these voyeuristic figures can be seen flashing their vulvas to the world in what has become intriguing feminist statement.
Her name means Old Hag with Breasts, peculiar choice with her bald head and smooth chest. Its purpose in medieval folklore is a mystery, but today she has become a feminist and queer icon, an exhibitionist proud of her body.
Embody her confidence with a one-of-kind wearable art piece.
