I never thought of it being folk art. Hopefully, someone can shed more light on this interesting piece.

Looks like something for a voodoo rite, or ritual....

OK - that hammerhead doll appears to me to be the work of a Sid. The question now is, what that a Sid over 100 years ago, or was it SickRick?[:D]

hey everybody whats up,its the badger.had a great time digging with rick and paul even with the 100 degree temps.as long as bottles are coming out that makes it worth it.as for my eyes i think they are still there.we always seem to find some kind of weird object.the doll looks like something from a horror movie.i got a nice blob from the pit it was a FRANK BUCHMAN,EMAUS PA. the spelling in emmaus has only one m which is the way they spelled it in the old days.hey rick i talked with the guy at work about digging the pits in catty he said he will talk to relatives and he will get back to me. see ya dave

Emaus changed to Emmaus in 1938. (Except for Emaus Avenue, of course). PA Dutch way of spelling Emaus.. it was supposed to have a ~ thing over the m to mean 2 m's from what my mother told me. Never saw anything with one of those over the m, though.
