Where's the wang? Beautiful wee sculpt, but I'm not a fan of emasculated art! Those damn missionaries have a lot to answer for, particularly when it comes to Cook Islands art. If you do your homework on this guy you will find that without a penis it is meaningless....the whole point of this figure is virility, fertility and abundance. PS It's "Rarotonga" which is the main/admin island of the Cooks, and also usually referred to as "The Fisherman's God" rather than just a fish! Criticism aside, like I said it's beautifully executed. I really like your cast pendants! |
