Stick decorated with linear incisions to create a stylized female figure with strongly accentuated breasts. By changing our viewing angle we can see that the symbol also encodes the male principle – the female figure transforms into a symbol of male genitalia. The upper part of the stick has been reconstructed, and may originally have contained an eyelet for suspending it.
