They were erected on many churches of the medieval period and are generally referred to as protective talismans or good luck symbols. This book is written from a non-academic perspective and so aims to be accessible to the general reader. The catalogue section of the book is a very comprehensive alphabetically listed reference to all known sheela-na-gigs in Ireland and Britain. All the entries in the book include a description, details of the location and a drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56007700021621,"sku":"9781856352949","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781856352949.jpg?v=1758789969","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781856352949","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
