Here's some more, from the way out of print classic, "African and Oceanic Art". The following are all African carvings.

This one blew away everybody at the Chop Chop last weekend. I dare anybody to find a weirder native carving anywhere.

Like, what is he doing, driving an Alien Death Muncher?

Ejiri, Guardian Spirit; Ijo, Nigeria.

And Babalu actually decided to make his King of the Underwater City of Cthulo tiki have a BIGGER dick after seeing this.

Ghana, brass, 4" tall.

Sierra Leone Figure.

Otobo Water Spirit. Nigeria.

Dance Headdress; Bambara, Mali.

This one is almost Japanese, but freakier;

Wart-hog style dance mask. Liberia.
