Sheela na gigs are figurative carvings of naked women displaying an exaggerated vulva. They are architectural grotesques found throughout most of Europe [1] [2] on cathedrals , castles , and other buildings. The greatest concentrations can be found in Ireland, Great Britain, France and Spain, sometimes together with male figures. Ireland has the greatest number of surviving sheela na gig carvings; Joanne McMahon and Jack Roberts cite examples in Ireland and 45 examples in Britain. Another well-known example may be seen at Kilpeck in Herefordshire , England. The carvings may have been used to ward off death, evil and demons. It is commonly said that their purpose was to keep evil spirits away see apotropaic magic. They often are positioned over doors or windows, presumably to protect these openings. Scholars disagree about the origins of the figures. James Jerman and Anthony Weir believe that the sheela na gigs were first carved in France and Spain during the 11th century; the motif eventually reached Britain and then Ireland in the 12th century.
