| Description | The figurine is well formed; the majority of the various elements (arms, legs, etc) are well proportioned and cast with skill. The exception to this is the male genitalia which is exceptionally and disproportionably large. The figurine is posed with the left arm raised, elbow bent, the right arm crossed across the body holding the penis, the legs slightly apart. From behind the figurine is slightly feminine with wide shoulders, narrow waste, rounded buttocks, and well-rounded hips and calves (PAS). |
