Post-medieval copper-alloy erotic pipe tamper |
||
| Description |
English: A broken copper-alloy post-medieval pipe tamper depicting an erotic scene. The scene depicts a standing couple engaged in sexual intercourse. The head of the female agent is missing, as is the base of the tamper.
Such erotic scenes are fairly well known from Roman knife handles, yet the shape of this example is more suggestive of a much later pipe tamper. Furthermore, the erotic scenes depicted on Roman artefacts also often have a third incumbent, upon whom the female is sat. A very similar example to this tamper is illustrated in Murawski (2003, 605; P99-0109), although it is unprovenanced and undated. Bailey (1995, 64) also refers to erotic tampers. Bawdy scenes were important features of eighteenth-century popular art, literature, and material culture, and it is this tradition into which these tampers fit. A closely dated, complete parallel comes from the wreck of the Colossus, which sank in 1798. |
