Description:

The Secret Cabinet (Gabbinete) or Secret Room is the name of the Bourbon Monarchy gave the private rooms in which they held their fairly extensive collection of erotic or sexual items, mostly deriving from excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Limiting viewership and censorship have always been part of the history of the collection. Phallic imagery like this was an apotropaic device for protection, and so was common both publicly and privately. Sometimes caricature was used because provoking laughter was also thought to ward away an evil force. These figurines are also jugs; the penises are the spouts.
