Ancient phallic stonework of Kalama, a zhampha is apotropaic to harm and used to mark boundaries of land, including the site of a temple. A zhampha can be crudely carved or rather ornate, small enough to be held in the hand or of colossal size. Zhampha monuments are thought to have been used for many thousands of years, dating to before the Flood of Aturyanda. The artistic expression can be very abstract and stylized or rather explicit.
