Yet to arrive. Hard to tell much from the pictures but I suspect the stone is well formed. Not old in a EurAsian context. The balance of design appealed to me. It is said to be 13-14 inches long/high so not a big stone.

This has turned out to be a leap of faith too far. Rubbish tourist item. The stone is just a peable, the binding is just rough string not a hand corded fibre. On the first light swing with some energy and it fell apart

AH WELL! I STILL THINK IT IS NEAT BECAUSE OF ITS PHALLIC NATURE AND AS IT IS SOMETHING MADE UP I WOULD LABEL IT CERCUMCISION AX AND DISPLAY IT WITH A COLLECTION OF PHALLOCRYPTS (PENIS GOURDS). I SAW A LARGE NUMBER OF PENIS GOURDS HANGING FROM THE CELING OF A SHOP IN BALI AND REMARKED IT WAS THE MOST UNUSUAL CHANDELIER I HAD EVER SEEN.
