Commercially produced voodoo doll depicting a Donald Trump poppet with a set of coloured pins and a spell sheet.

A rather elaborate cursing poppet, made from strips of fabric (crepe bandage) bound with string, and painted brown and red. The string is tied in a knot over where the mouth would be. A folded leaf is attached to the front of the poppet, and also a bunch of long stiff black threads which seem likely to be horse hair. Small pieces of wood whittled into miniature stakes are driven into one eye, one shoulder, the heart and the groin.
