On the 13th May 1964, a pre-Romanesque phallic idol was found in the church of Paderne. It was also considered a religious idol related to fertility.

The sculpture represents a prerromanesque antrophistic

It is made of plastic . It is rough,thick and sculpted in granite 61,5 high. It holds some kind of staff on its right hand and its wraped in a gown which almost covers all its body and whose hooks and eyes are distinguished over its chest.

On the highest part of the head there is a “coviña” o “ fosete”. This names refer to a cavity which corresponded to any kind of ritual practice which was also found in several zoomorphic scluptures of the hill-forts in the peninsular Northwest where we can also include this figure.

The sculpture is cut under the knees as it happens not only in most cases but also in the figures of Galician -lusitian warriors discovered in Portugal and the South of Galicia. All of them have a funeral nature according to some archeologists´ opinions. However, they are considered as images of gods or honorable monuments by others.

Nowadays , it is in the Archeological Museum of A Coruña.
