Some of these are just embarrassing.

This shape and carving of this figure is associated with the Mossi fertility doll carried by the girls and women. ... his female image is unique. This is a beautiful representation of .... Mossi culture.
We all know darn well what it is. The slingshot function is a distant second. Trust these "cultures" to make things weird. :slap:
It's like Andy Warhol's bean soup can.... everyone thinks it's a work of art. Meanwhile the artist was probably laughing at you.
