There has been a call for information on an ancient wooden doll that ‘fell out of a wall’ in Mallow.
The doll
The relic was discovered by workers whilst renovating a 200-year-old shop, in the town center, roughly 30 years ago.
When discovered, the building-owner took a disliking to the doll, along with many other people, and banished it from the location.

As Google was yet to be invited, It wasn’t until a friend of Cork photographer Finbarr Murray rediscovered the item earlier this month, that questions have been asked about the origins of the doll.
Murray said that a few people that have thrown around the word ‘piseog’ when describing the wooden object, which is the Irish word for ‘an evil spell’ or ‘curse’.
What do you think?
