Large Stone Phallus Effigy, Culture and Age Unknown. Clearly not an antiquity but rather an item that was included with several ancient pieces and offering as the last piece in the auction. Stone phallus effigy 13 x 4 x 4". Clearly broken at base, but what remains is still quite impressive with subtle but accurate details. A striking piece, certainly generates interest and being perfectly honest, hilarious. Phallus has been protected for years in a stout, sheepskin and wool sleeve. Weighs 8 pounds. Last held by the collector for over 40 years who found it left behind in a home in a Southern California home. Estimated Value $200 - 399
