- Product number: 121609
- Origin: New Guinea
- Latin: Lagenaria siceraria
In addition to a traditional headdress, many indigenous (male) inhabitants of New Guinea are accustomed to adorning and covering their penis with a dried gourd. This original attire is mainly worn during ceremonies.
The gourd we offer here has the ideal shape for a penis sheath, also called Koteka or Horim. The seeds originally come from New Guinea and have since been propagated by our grower.
