A small ceramic doll with a rather delicate face and hands, wearing a felt cape, and with a skirt consisting of numerous (probably a hundred or more) folded papers, in different colours (muted blues, reds, golds etc.). Poetic fortunes are handwritten on the papers (the papers have to be unfolded outwards at the base to read them). The doll is also holding small scrolls of paper in her left hand. Originally she would have stood on some kind of rotating stand that would have been spun to select the fortunes. Victorian.
A handmade scourge with a handle wrapped with strips of brown leather, and with the ends trimmed with what appears to be black sheepskin or goatskin; with a leather loop at one end of the handle, and at the other a long length of strips of leather twisted together to form a kind of rope, which is then bound so that the leather strips are loose at the end.
A very striking athame with a blade made of stone (some kind of slate)with a diamond-shaped cross-section, and a hollow handle made of a section of bone wrapped in a long strip of brown leather. With accompanying black felt cloth and black, red, green and brown cord.
An oval piece of clear glass in a very thin metal frame, from a piece of jewellery such as a locket. The frame has a gold finish, but is starting to rust.
A small rectangular-based clear glass bottle, with a black cap, containing the dark orange, rather jelly-like remains of what was probably originally some kind of liquid. There is also a lustrous golden deposit on the outside of the bottle, which may be leaked contents. There is the remains of a paper label with illegible handwriting on the side of the bottle.
A very small hand sewn wallet made of grey fabric on the outside and red fabric on the inside, containing a crucifix and a religious medal (stitched in place), both made of gold-coloured metal. The wallet also contains a small photograph of an aircrew standing in front of a plane (a Lancaster bomber) - clearly a scene from WWII. The wallet fastens with a popper, and is stitched with pale blue thread. No doubt intended to be carried by an airman in his jacket pocket as a protective amulet. The outer fabric may originally have been Airforce blue, which has now faded to grey.
A dried sprig of some kind of plant. The main stem is woody and the foliage looks like pine needles, but the top of the sprig seems to consist of a dense cluster of reddish flowers, each on a separate stem.
A small cross made by binding together two pieces of metal - possibly unusually flat nails - with string. The metal is quite rusty and therefore obviously iron. This is probably a protection charm.
A rather elegant silver sauce boat, with three legs and an elaborate handle, with traces of incense ash inside, indicating that it was used as an incense burner. There is also clump of herbs wrapped around a nail inside the sauce boat.
A large Green Man plaque, cast in resin from a wood carving by Bel Bucca. The Green Man has oak leaves emerging from his mouth, and ivy leaves on his forehead and below his chin. The colours are green and gold.
A statue of Pan cast in resin from a wood carving by Bel Bucca. The figure has short horns and goat's legs, and is ithyphallic. He is seated on a rock and holding pan pipes. The resin is copper effect.
A Horned God altar figure cast in resin from a wood carving by Bel Bucca. The antlered figure is seated cross legged; he is holding ram-headed serpents in each hand and has leaves sprouting from his mouth. There is a solar symbol combined with foliage above his head. He is subtly ithyphallic. The resin is copper effect.
