Let's say it's a tool (sic). Let's assume that tool making, as a learned skill was man's work, like modern day taking out the garbage or moving the lawn, or in Africa like herding cattle etc. What in God's name would posses prehistoric man to spend hours making an artificial penis? Why out of stone when wood would have been easier and more "user" friendly. There must have been gourds and tubers galore if they needed a replacement.
As a religious artifact maybe as they have in India but then why the scratch marks. I'm going with the interest and fund raising theory. Just think what latter day archeologists will make of a composite police night stick/baton/truncheon when they find one.
