Colin, I am not sure about phallic imagery being later additions. This item with three faces has a phallic element which is clearly not a recent adaption. The item is 53cm long. I believe these tri-face things are from Ethiopia. I am gathering information to back this idea, but will take a day or two to illustrate my thinking. It is quite possible that in the southern parts in the not too distant past Rhino were present. I could believe we might be looking at related items. There may be questions about the depiction of a foreskin regards to male circumsission. There was an early 80s band called the 4skins.
