It is finds like this that causes me to swell with tremendous pride, glorying in my ancestral heritage.

Although some caution is required. As a commenter perspicaciously observed:

Only four 11 centimeters (4 inches) long? Must be from a Norwegian.

The motif of the sacred phallus impregnating Mother Earth is widespread in Neolithic, early farming, cultures. Wouldn't surprise me if this was used in religious ceremonies at the time; way more likely than its being used as a sex toy.
