Do Phallic shaped Ukirans have any traditional background?

most if not all the samples I have seen were Balinese (or indeed Lombok) krises hilts and new, which is the reason why I asked if there were any old traditional examples.

Yesterday I went to visit the Leiden Ethnological museum and there were (although not among the krises) several examples of statues displaying phalli well in evidence (even Javanese from time prior the Islamisation ).
