			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.
