Mysterious Native American or Voodoo Doll?
« on: March 23, 2015, 03:43:44 pm »
Hey gang,
I spotted this person on Craigslist looking for answers about a very strange small doll. It looks Native American to me, but maybe Voodoo? I'm thinking that it looks alive on one side and dead on the other. Any one know what this might be?

I don't know tales, I was just reading a book by the Smithsonian institute. Indian dolls were beautifully made. These are awfully crude. I don't really know I was wondering if they were South American.

Sorry I can't help.  It looks like a homemade item to me.

I sure don't know either , talesof ...

It does seem to be more like some voodoo/juju dolls (v/s 'first nations') , although this one does not have a 'gender' evident .... perhaps more decoration (clothes, etc) is missing ?

Sure looks like a modern rendition , IMO !
