Barrel Folx

TW: Vulgarity and mention of genitalia.

Next we will be discussing... Oh my... These folk arts were traditionally made by Mountain Jakar tribesmen as keepsakes for visitors to remember their visit to the mountains. They are usually carved by hand from mahogany and serve as a testament to the virility of the mountain folk. Some say that they were created as a form of protest art...

— Instructor of Recruits

Quit beatin' around the bush Instructor! It's a man (or a woman) in a barrel and when you lift the barrel, their ding dong (or their boobies) pop out and bounce around! That's it! They're funny! I collect them!

— Sgt. Kill Flayer

A barrel man or barrel woman are souvenir dolls or statuettes popular in the Kirinal Concordance Zone that originated in the Talin Islands and among the Mountain Jakar. The figure consists of a crudely carved male or female figure hidden inside a round wooden barrel. When the barrel is lifed, the figure inside is revealed, sporting a prominent phallus or breasts, on springs.

They are very common in gift shops around the Zone and are a popular keepsake amongst tourists. The ones on sale in Lola's Comfy Kitchen are said to actually be enchanted Agimat made by Lola Carly herself.

Selenelion Barrel Man/Woman

A magical version of the barrelman exists that allows its owner to switch sexes once per day at dawn. They do this by lifting the barrel to show the male version or pulling it down to reveal the female version.
