Do Phallic shaped Ukirans have any traditional background?

While we are at it, the keris blade itself can also be seen as phallic. Be careful or you may have to give up collecting keris altogether.

Hi David
Yes this type of hilt. The glans tip bearing the pesi and the rounded pommel forming the scrotum. Immediately apparent when the hilt is separate from blade.
