The Chinese Fox Thief is the visualization of a Chinese fable. Apparently the story goes that fox spirits dress up as beautiful women in order to get close to men and steal their genitals.
According to the artist, the “[Chinese fox] thief has reverted to her true form and is now admiring her prize,” which, of course, is male genitalia.
Strange? Yes. But the world of crafts has much worse to offer than the Chinese fox thief. If you don’t believe me just check out the gallery, and then the related below.
