Subject:Japanese bronzes w/hidden genitalia
Posted By: PaulM Sat, Dec 21, 2013 IP: 108.38.251.161
Hello, I've had these little figurines for years and have not yet been able to find out anything about them, whether this sort of figure was common or not. I'd expect there is some terminology for this and would be thankful for any comments. I acquired them in the 1990s from the estate of a silent screen star, but no more provenance than that.

By the way, they're each about 5 to 5.5 ounces (155 grams) in weight and about 2" (5 cm) in height.
