Clay Red Bananas!

I 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 3/8" x 4 1/4" measured on the square. Good condition, no chips or cracks I can see, just general surface wear and maybe some built up, which makes it look as if they've just been harvested and not dusted off, which I like. I have not cleaned them.
