While Master Carver Peter Calvesbert has never seen a Proboscis Monkey (after all, they are only found on the island of Borneo), he had little difficulty capturing its essence, due to its prominent feature - a large, fleshy nose that droops downward over its chin. But its second most noticeable trait its brightly colored genitalia posed a bit of a dilemma. The interior of this box figurine shows a handsome big nosed man holding a sign that says Big noses are sexy. Inscriptions include the monkeys Latin name (Nasalis Larvatus) and I love swimming as Proboscis are known for their swimming ability. |
