This image dating back to the 11th century has survived centuries of attempts to eradicate objects thought to be obscene. Sheela-Na-Gigs were carved on the exteriors and interiors of churches in 11th and 12th century Ireland, England and France. Sheela-Na-Gig is also seen as another appearance of the Great Mother, a pre-Christian fertility idol, an ancient Celtic goddess, a pagan good-luck symbol, and protection against evil.
