Penis sheaths & phallocrypts.


"Above is an old penis sheath or horim from the highlands made of a gourd piece with nassa shell as a border glued on with sap and mud."


"Another fiber one woven in the sepik region and adorned with a face and cassowary feathers."


"A common Dani one for everyday just made out of a gourd."


"This is yet another style, made out of handcarved wood. A must in any walk-in closet of the modern man!" :lol:


"And the best of the batch, the Penis cover mask. In the right corner, alas not in full, a penis cover with an ancestor's face which is not fully showing & handcarved bat face turned upright to bite the ancestor's chin. Handwoven twine as decorations. In front, a laying woven phallocrypt."
