Middle Finger Trophy iPhone Case

About The Artwork
This golden FU trophy redefines what it means to be a "winner" or a "loser."
The middle finger gesture has a long and varied history, tracing back to ancient times. Originally a symbol of sexual intercourse, it was intended to demean and intimidate the recipient. In the 1st-century Mediterranean world, the gesture was also used to ward off the evil eye. In ancient Greek society, the middle finger was known as the katapygon and served as an insult, particularly implying sexual submission. It even features in Aristophanes's comedy "The Clouds," where the gesture is used as a pun on the word "daktylos," meaning both "finger" and a form of poetic meter.
In Roman culture, the middle finger was called the "digitus impudicus," or the "shameless finger," and was employed in various superstitious rites and spells. Writers like Martial and Juvenal mentioned the usage of the finger in their works, usually in a mocking or scornful context. The gesture continued to be associated with "shameful actions" well into Late Antiquity, as explained by Isidore of Seville.
