Description: A traditional ceremonial garment worn by young men, the penis sheath is crafted from the skin of a wild cat and adorned with flowing grey fur streamers. This unique attire holds deep cultural significance, symbolising the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Worn with pride by young men, the process of creating the sheath involves hunting the wild cat and crafting the garment as part of a rite of passage.
