Rahara Sheela

The Sheela Na Gig is a carved stone image of a female figure appearing in Ireland primarily at churches and castles of the Medieval period. She is often placed prominently in a position where observers may see her revealing her genitalia in a gesture of provocative spiritual and sovereign power. She currently appears in 118 representations that are documented in Island of the Sheela na Gigs and new ones are being uncovered all the time.
