Description

Two Long Koteka Gourds/Sheaths from the highlands culture in Papua New Guinea
The koteka, horim, or penis gourds/sheath is a phall crypt or phallocrat traditionally worn by native male inhabitants of some highlands ethnic groups in Papua New Guine to cover their genitals. They are normally made from a dried-out gourd, Lagenaria siceraria, although other species, such as Nepenthes mirabilis, are also used. They are held in place by a small loop of fiber attached to the base of the koteka and placed around the scrotum. There is a secondary loop placed around the chest or abdomen and attached to the main body of the koteka. Different tribes wear different styles, and even the gourd types vary considerably from group to group. There are 2 in this lot, 17 inches and 22 inches.
