Spanish term or phrase: troncos de hojas de palma
A description of a piece in an exhibition in Argentina in the 1950s:

[Estos artistas] ...presentan... una botella de anís “El Mono” con un chupete en la boca titulado Madre y varios troncos de hojas de palma ensamblados titulados Ballena, de una plasticidad e iconografía imaginaria sorprendentes.

Entenderia hojas o troncos, pero los dos no...sera un error de tipeo?
Gracias

I've since discovered there's a type of tree called a whaleback palm tree.
