bizarre 'fertility' symbol?

Copied from the 12th c. garb list I read. The first person I thought of was Kes_zone, of course...maybe you could order the postcard for the shop?

===========================

The Reuters news story about the mural is at:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=5&u=/nm/20041207/od_nm/odd_penis_dc
. I have to admit to looking for a picture of it.

The best I have come up with so far is at
http://italianfood.about.com/library/cards/blcard7.htm . Down at the
bottom of the page is a picture labelled "Massa Marittima's Fertility
Tree (detail)." I'd like to see the whole thing, as it is only a
portion of the mural. A very tiny copy of the mural can be found at
