Dancer to the Crotalum. Bronze. Height about 11 inches. WE have spoken in the explanation of Plate XI. of the moriones, or fatui, of whom this dancer in bronze is one. He is entirely naked; the girdle round his loins being altogether insufficient to conceal his enormous parts. He is dancing to the sound of the Crotalum. This was a kind of cymbal made of wood, of terra cotta, or of metal, which almost produced the sound of the Spanish castanets. It was consecrated to Priapus, and used in lascrivious dances. Here is URL. Scroll down almost halfway. http://royalmuseum.tripod.com/secretcabinet/Plate14.html
