- The simian sculptures of the equatorial forests of West Africa have intrigued scholars and attracted collectors for years. Though they come in many forms, there is little factual information on their purpose. The most famous of these, the Cameroon gorilla effigies of the Bulu, are among the most prized objects in African art. The cultures of the Cameroon Grasslands also produce these dramatic pieces. If one looks at the historical interaction between humans and the rare lowland gorillas of the Congo and Equatorial Basins, the purpose of the carvings becomes rather clear. The animals have long been feared throughout their range, though there is scant evidence of attacks on humans. Also, their meat is prized and their body parts, alas, have been used by diviners and herbalists for a variety of purposes. The effigies appear to be purely protective in nature since the animal has always been considered a threat. It is possible that the use of the gorilla figure might be specific, or perhaps have general protective uses against all forest spirits. This would be one explanation at least. Today, fortunately, education and eco-tourism are beginning to reverse the trend of treating the lowland gorilla as a menace. Though it may continue to be exploited, at least it will be given the chance to survive. Due to the impenetrable density of the forest, there are few estimates of the present population of lowland gorillas.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential.
I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.
