Perhaps a Séamas-an-bhuid or Lusty Man ?
The strange Irish gate-pillar figure holding a key, which
is
perhaps as much as five centuries later than the Romanesque exhibitionist carvings.
Compare this figure with...
...another remarkable key-bearer at Broadford, county Clare, sawn off at
the waist...
and so possibly exhibitionist also before it was mutilated.
Compare both figures with a key-carrying figure on a Mithraic altar from SW France.
Compare the Ballycloghduff Lusty Man with the male on the Romanesque
doorway at Saint-Front-sur-Nizonne in France.
