Description: A man and woman stand side by side holding hands on a rectangular wooden block. The figures are nearly identical, with split, rectangular blocks of wood representing the figures’ bodies from the waist-down. Long, thin, cylindrical pieces of wood emerge from their waists to form the torso and neck, while their heads are represented by egg-shaped pieces of wood. Their faces have no further detail. Four wooden, three-pronged forks are attached to the figures’ hips at the midpoints of the forks. The tops of the forks’ handles represent shoulders and the prongs of the forks are facing downwards, representing hands and fingers. The female gender of one figure is distinguished by two small, round wooden balls attached to her torso, representing breasts. The male gender of the other figure is distinguished by a thin, cylindrical piece of wood with a brown-stained tip, attached between his legs, representing a phallus.
