[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4334814, member: 45785"] The Assyrians and Hittites were making such things in stone 3 or 4 thousand years ago. Probably where the phrase "rock hard" came from. 😀 Can't find a photo of the "deformed little man" wife and I saw at the museum in Ankara while we were there in the mid-80's. Phallus was longer than the statue was tall. About 10", IIRC. There were reasonably good copies at several of the stores in "Rip-off Alley" outside Incirlik AB. This is from one of the stone-age sites, and the statue isn't as disproportionate as the one we saw. And this stuff is much older than the bronze-age Chinese "toy."
