Clay Red Bananas! schoolgirl map There is a dealer inI believe these red bananas are likely Central of South American in origin where red bananas are grown, and where as I understand it the juice of them is considered an aphrodesiac! These do have quite a sexy sort of fecundity about them, I'd say, and they seem to me to make a pretty fabulous tabletop sculpture or component of a dramatic centerpiece. I'd guess mid century or so, maybe a little earlier, and pretty excellent from every angle. 10" x 6 3
