>   Don't Ask.

    Why Ben.  You ol' reprobate, you.  Here, from your description I was
    expecting to find a typically graphic and in-your-face male fertility
    symbol.  One finds, though perhaps not so much in greek museums (odd,
    it seems like they'd be quite appropos there), any number of
    prehistoric through modern phallic symbols used that way.  And I was
    all set to wonder why you seemed so embarrased to call a spade a
    spade, since from your description, this clearly was on your mind,
    yet you couldn't seem to bring yourself to say it. 

    but I think yer dreaming, dude.  this is just a pretty pendant. 
    Nice little elongated teardrop shape. 

    Just 'cause they're neolithic or something doesn't mean they have to
    be so filled with symbolism and meaning.   Some of that stuff was,
    like most of our own jewelry, just made to be pretty. 

(grin)
