Penisschelp
A whole Ovula ovum shell was used as adornment for the penis during dance ceremonies and other feasts. The inner whorl was taken out. The outside of the shell is polished. <BR> The tip of the penis is put into the mouth of the shell. <BR> It is not a cover for the penis, but rather a male adornment, which is worn at dances which are held when a new men's hut is built, a funeral is held or a trading relation is celebrated. It is especially associated with war dances and war adornment.<BR>
