Strange "Rock", Native American carving, unknown ????

[magenta1]

Hi,
I bought this today at a local flea market neither I nor the Seller had any idea what it was?
Weight about 5 pounds, length about 10 inches
Looks like a phallic symbol!
Carved, old I have no idea?
Please don't think I'm trying to play a joke.
Help on this would be great?

I see two small initials at the bottom, L.B., could it stand for Lorena Bobbett?

Very nice find.

I believe that, in the day, this was referred to by the indigenous population as a "Para siempre aggrandized kokrok"

Definitely a conversation starter.

I knew this was going to go south! I just knew it!

No pun intended, I'm sure.

The seller was probably happy to actually sell it. Hope you sterilized it.

A wise purchase my friend... it’s a beauty!

It looks familiar

I can see why someone picked it up, but you just got sold a naturally formed rock. Hopefully you didn't pay much for this fun freak of nature.

I figured it was worth $10

Its a baby "fairy chimney". Indigenous to Turkeys

Cappadocia region.

Judging from the Circumcision Technique, I would guess it to come from the Early Rabbinical Era.

Good grief.
