Antique ivory

Hi!Just bought these two items and I need some help with identification(no ideea what they are) and translation,if possible.Many thanks!

 

One is a penis...likely Japanese.....they have a big penis festival with lots and lots of penises of every size and shape.

the other may have been part of a japanese inro.....

 

I THOUGHT I saw a penis, but... you know.
Hola, Stelica, and welcome to the Forums!

 

hi,first item is a penis,with a dragon wrapped around it and some unknown(to me)engraved symbols.the second item looks,as you said,like a japanese inro,but this is not a box/pouch,looks like an pendant.the rope is also very long,aprox.53 inches.thank you very much!

 

I can't see 53 inches of cord.....so I can only suggest from what I see.

 

let's hear it for the Japanese and their wonderful culture.....

 

So tasteful and refined. Who said the orient can't teach the west new things??

 

Apparently ivory dicks were a common thing. I saw loads on display at the Sex Museum in Amsterdam.

...what? I had to kill time before I checked into my hotel!!

 

Did they have any museum replicas for sale, Shangas?
I mean, like for a bridal shower gift...

 

I learn something new here every single day.

I am not sure if this particular new knowledge will ever be of any use to me or not, but it will forever be there just in case.

I laugh that i came to ask a staff member HOW in the heck i post something and this is what i come apon...Anyone tell me how to post something pls?

 

All I'll say about the grouping of photos in Post # 7 is . . .

Now there's something blown way out of proportion.

I'm surprised there were no helium balloon replications floating overhead at those gatherings.

 

They had phallic salt-and-pepper shakers in Delft blue-white porcelain. Does that answer your question?

 

Ooooooooooooohhhhhh.... thank you!

EDIT
I may raise the bar in shower gifts!

 

Just not goin' there.........waaaay too dangerous with this crowd

 

Ahh, c'mon.....live a little... !!

At least I don't post a pic of Batman at the event !!!
