Slightly reminds me of a Tupilak.... awful evil little totems that Greenlanders (or icelanders cant remember) would use as a black magic attack dogs, similar to a voodoo doll, once made, (out of carved bits of bone, blood, semen, whale tusk, hair..) it would be placed onto an iceflow and pushed out to sea, then to go after the intended victim....
