Beneath him is a strange creature in a grass skirt: part turtle, part frog, part demon perhaps?

Sold, thank you! 

Here is something unusual, an ox horn erotic toy with accompanying finger dildo, also of horn, dating from the 19th century enclosed in a kiri-wood box.  The large piece is very thin walled, making it translucent.  The smaller piece is heavier and seems to be made for a bit more abuse. There are two holes in the base of the larger piece for tying it on.  The larger item is 6 inches (15 cm) long and the smaller 2-1/2 inches (6 cm) long.  Both are hollow.  The small piece is in excellent condition...
