Antwerp: Maritime Museum - The Ogre




At the entrance a relief statue can be seen of a man with spread out legs.
This statue also used to have a very large penis and was therefore venerated by numerous women looking for a cure against infertility.
The Jesuits found the statue too obscene in the 17th century.... and off went the decoration of the statue!
