Hey guys, I'm currently studying linguistics at university and doing a portfolio on Japanese. I'm a bit stuck on the above question and would love some help!

Essentially: In English, you could be at the foot of a mountain, or could see the head of a mast. A clock has hands and a potato has eyes.
What objects in Japanese use a body part to describe a part of it? I need one with at least two relevant adjectives (like a mast has both a foot and a head), but any help is useful!

Thanks!
 
Hmm, what I can think of now is 椅子 isu "chair", which has elbow/arm, back and leg as same as in English.
