The top of this bottle was originally "Mr. Nut" - a hollowed nut I found floating in the bay while trawling. I added the stick, drilled the eye holes, and put on the copper wire arms all while at the helm of a boat repeatedly going 3 mph over (more or less) the same bottom - in January.
The other embellishments include assorted odds and ends in the jar (beach glass, buttons, etc.), a copper bell, a bone fish, skull and crossbones ribbon, and a cork studded with rusty pins and nails...
Authentically vodou? Hardly. Cool looking approximation of the trope? Absolutely.
