This African statue is from the Chokwe tribe from the Democratic Republic of Congo. It features a male with prominent genitals - the more prominent the gen The Chokwe tribe believes that this statue promotes fertility.

This fertility figure has a hairline fracture running down the end of it, but it does not detract from the uniqueness of this piece of African art.
