Fethard Abbey Sheela-na-gig

One of its earliest mentions is in the School Collection[5] which also includes a black and white photograph.

The figure is in an upright orientation and carved in high relief with a disproportionately large head with what Barbara Freitag describes as "jug ears",[4] but a comparison with a monkey would not be too far off either.

There are lines in the forehead and cheeks, maybe to indicate old age or emaciation.

The lower body has been defaced, so that the vulva and the right hand touching it are no longer visible.

The fingers on the left hand are fanned out, similar to the lost Kiltinan example.
