@karrycrow Is this near the same area ? https://t.co/6g3VFVu7GK

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

@karrycrow I've not seen this shape in pilgrim badges. To me they are generally more wounds of Christ in form. It a difficult stone to interpret. My memory of this stone is there was little context with the find? Could it have been a film/tv prop? Or was there a castle or church?

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

@karrycrow I'm not sure about this. The vulva seems very enhanced. Not very common on Medieval sheelas that show them. You do see this form in replicas (see the movie Men) a modern interpretation.

You can tell a man researched this "The phallus is 16cm long but may have shrunk with age" we've all heard that excuse @orlapeach @SexSiopa this is one for ye https://t.co/eawQViu58X

@cmcloughlin1 We have heard there is a new Sheela, and have logged back into Twitter say thanks now we need to update our maps. Honestly, this is a major find. There is a major gap in the record in the SE. A missing/possible is all we have as well as two debunked

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

@thewildgees Not a Sheela. It's an early christian cross, there is a 'spaceman' on the back, or a figure with a halo, but I prefer the latter.

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

Looking forward to this talk, We hope to see many of you there in person.

@thewildgees @JohnFlynnArt Nothing at this stage. Trying to find the time is the hardest part but we will let ye know once we do :)

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

@stitchlily @TuathaIreland It's ok we've added our vote for Galway

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

Come on Kildare, I'm voting for your sheela heritage

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

@TuathaIreland That's a hard call

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

Great to see that sheela-na-gig made a showing @GalwayPride

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

there is still time to get your votes for Roscommon in. The home of 7 sheela-na-gigs, Roscommon, Rindoon and Ballintober & Athlone, Castles (the border is in the river), an iron age idol, myths, queens and kings. It's irelands real hidden heartland

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

Thanks to @3Dgroovanstones and @NdeFaoite for recording this carving from @UlsterMuseum during their recent visit as part of the #Og_h_am project. https://t.co/bBf9MhGuG8

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

Finally getting around to uploading the latest Sheela's to the collection - This example is from Killaloe beside a well near @StFlannansCath
- It's a shame her head is gone, as it hinders comparison to other carvings from Cos. Clare and Tipperary https://t.co/5Tho5640SM

[3DSheela @3DSheela]

This has been sitting on my phone for months. Finally remembered to share it. Ballporthy South Sheela - Ennis Museum.
