with some interesting vintage slingshots
I love how polite you are.

Some of these are just embarrassing.

Like this one here:

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.
