Dated to the medieval period, likely between the 10th and 14th centuries, the Sheela-na-gig is thought to have symbolic associations with fertility, childbirth, or supernatural protection. These figures appear across Ireland and Britain, often linked to ecclesiastical sites, though their exact meaning remains unclear.
