Original Note:
The attached reader letter to The Guardian is describing "another explanation" to the object's use. Researchers have not been able to confirm what the object's use is, but a sex toy is another possible explanation. Other speculated functions are a pestle or piece of a statue. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/touch-wood-luck-protection-power-or-pleasure-a-wooden-phallus-from-vindolanda-roman-fort/53F4B0838D23DB65F6A244695624102E
