Aghalurcher
Aghalurcher Church, Co. Fermanagh.
I have been to this picturesque little church and graveyard where the 18th century headstones have sheela-like heads, coffins, sandtimers and crossed bones on them. This morbid style was fashionable at that time.
However, the figure itself has been removed to the Archaeological Survey, DOE, Belfast.

Information just in on this Male acrobatic figure from Anthony Weir, it shows a feet to ears fig. with no body, and testicles merging with it’s beard. No penis is shown although the circular mouth may have accomodated one. Best described as a Romanesque penisless male. Unique in this part of the World.
