It's shamistic ~ could have something to do with birthing, fertility, or instruction ~ and given the nature of those times, probably all those things.

Life was hard then ~ far more than we can imagine. That someone invested the time necessary to carve this piece suggests it served far higher purposes than pornography.

If we had found an abundance of these carvings, I would agree (reflecting a deity?) … having found only one, mayhap my earlier premise might be more in line.
