#equivalent of poppet. not necessarily used for harm
#though in this specific case
#and to use a definition in english
#an object/s or material/s used to cast a curse
#more specifically a love one - love curses are a thing
#and curse doll should be just about right in English
#there’s probably another dozen more accurate terms that still wouldn’t involve voodoo
#this is called a testimone di fattura in Italian
#translates to something like curse witness
