What gives? That piece was a prop from an Arena Stage performance of South Pacific. I neglected to interview the carver (of foam, not wood) on his intent of penile shape and form when purchasing the item. Of more concern, is that although the penis is present, there are no signs of testicles, so perhaps this was meant to represent an eunuch tiki. The South Pacific show was very good, and from what I could tell, nobody in the audience queried about whether the tiki figure was circumsized or not. As to the age of the elves - the Rice Krispie elves, who look quite similar to the Xmas elves, made their first appearance in 1928, so that elf look existed at least back then. Vern
