Nuttin' "fertility" related here, Bongo - you just got a dirty mind ! :D I would love to have this in my model A-frame/hut collection, it's a souvenir from New Caledonia, depicting a chief's hut:
Two types of carvings from these structures made it into Polynesian pop: The roof finial...
...made it into the famous Montreal Kon Tiki rendering:
(...but not onto the actual building):
And the door guardians....
Were used in many Trader Vic's restaurants:
Find the roof finial in this line up! : |
