If they were circumcised I think we would see just a bit more detail...

But to have any representation of male genitalia from this time period is highly unusual. "Female representations with highly accentuated sexual attributes are very well documented at many sites, but male representations are very, very rare," explained Professor Conard.

No picture of female representations?

...These nutters have quite the imagination. It's probably just a tool used to grind stuff up in a bowl......

I think you're correct.

It is a grain mortar.

The object is well made and the circumferential lines are crude, grafitti like add ons.

"Looks like a rolling pin to me."


Maybe rolling pins are phallic symbols.
