African fertility fetish

GE-C comments:
"This is nineteenth century. It comes from the Bula tribe in West Africa. I got it in a car boot sale. British colonial officers brought a lot back and they end up in people's houses without anyone knowing their significance."

From the collection of George Eleady-Cole
