Question Another Interesting/amusing item

Yet to arrive. Hard to tell much from the pictures but I suspect the stone is well formed. Not old in a EurAsian context. The balance of design appealed to me. It is said to be 13-14 inches long/high so not a big stone.

This has turned out to be a leap of faith too far. Rubbish tourist item. The stone is just a peable, the binding is just rough string not a hand corded fibre. On the first light swing with some energy and it fell apart Lucky I did not pay a lot but more than enough to give away . Banished to the to the box or place we do not go, we all have one .

AH WELL! I STILL THINK IT IS NEAT BECAUSE OF ITS PHALLIC NATURE AND AS IT IS SOMETHING MADE UP I WOULD LABEL IT CERCUMCISION AX AND DISPLAY IT WITH A COLLECTION OF PHALLOCRYPTS (PENIS GOURDS). I SAW A LARGE NUMBER OF PENIS GOURDS HANGING FROM THE CELING OF A SHOP IN BALI AND REMARKED IT WAS THE MOST UNUSUAL CHANDELIER I HAD EVER SEEN.
THERE IS AN AMUSING AND INFORMATIVE ARTICLE ON KOTEKA'S FOUND USING GOOGLE. IT SEEMS THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT WANTED TO BAN THEM IN NEW GUINEA AND IT TELLS OF THE PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTERED. PICTURE OF A KOTEKA
