An Unusual Early 1900s Poppet Doll Made From A Dried Root, Used In Folk Magic & Witchcraft.
In folk magic and Withcraft, a poppet is a doll made to represent a person, for casting spells on that person or to aid that person through magic. They are occasionally found lodged in chimneys. These dolls may be fashioned from such materials as a carved root, grain or corn shafts, a fruit, paper, wax, a potato, clay, branches, or cloth stuffed with herbs with the intent that any actions performed upon the effigy will be transferred to the subject based on sympathetic magic.
There is also more of a sinister way to design these poppets. They can be designed to create harm, sickness, an outcome that is in the cursor's favour.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound.
