phallus
Carved fertility emblem
A phallus is an erect penis or a representation of one.
The word appears most often in discussions of art, religion, or psychology—ancient fertility symbols, Freudian theory, phallic imagery in literature.
The statue featured a prominent phallus.
The adjective phallic describes anything resembling or symbolizing the erect penis: phallic architecture, phallic stage of development.
