What does Lini (Bones Gnome Druid) have in her left hand.

[KarenG 20]

I'm painting 89027: Lini, Iconic Gnome Druid.  She has a Sickle in her right hand, but has something I can't make out in her left.  Is it an acorn?  I've tried looking at the painted gallery version and still can't make it out.

Its a little voodoo/mummy doll. This is Derek Schubert's painted version of the metal one:

Ah, thanks muchly!  I already downloaded the picture to my 'Painting Guide' folder, but until you told me, I wasn't seeing it as that.  It's hell to get old.

You're welcome! I did the same thing when I painted her a few years ago.

Also the artwork the mini is based on:

 

 

Note: She isn't holding anything but you can see the voodoo doll on her belt.

The art definitely shows voodoo dolls complete with pins,  but I'd prefer to see the one in the model's hand as a mandrake root,  or even a corn dolly - more druidy than sticking pins in things!
