Thank you, and I'm sure others will have deeper commentary, but just let me say "what's up, penis shaped handle?"

Is it? Or is it a stylized figure, as more usual? Did they have those "German helmets" in Indonesia?

In India, public very openly designated penis (lingam?) sculptures are common, and usually religious.
