LA018-031010- Timahoe Exhibitionist

3D ModelNoAI

A carving located inside the doorway at Timahoe Round Tower. The carving has been called an Exhibitionist Figure with the follwing description - At the base of the doorway on the N side on the third order there appears to be a possible male exhibitionist figure in an acrobatic position with legs bent behind the ears and the hands appear to be pulling the cheeks apart to reveal the anus. The figure has a bearded face with hands beneath the chin either pulling at his beard or pulling the cheeks of his backside apart to reveal his anus.

However this description does not fit the figure, no legs can be seen behind the head, the hands are resting at the front of the carving, as it appears to be holding a smaller figure. This could be a depiction of the Eucharist (eating the body of christ) or show a figure emerging from the mouth. This carving is not exhibitionists as no genitals are shown. It is recorded here as a record for future reserachers.
