"Although no contextual data are available for this particular piece, it is virtually certain that the object, because of its exaggerated, large female sex placed in full perspective, represents a character of the Wayinda type, a woman who indulges in illicit sexual relationships even when she is pregnant, thus creating numerous problems for her child, her husband, and eventually herself."
