Idol of the Siren
"The exact origin of this item is unknown however it first appears in the journal of the infamous New England sea captain Obed Marsh. Apparently carved from a piece of whale bone, this idol was obtained during one of Captain Marsh's many South Seas voyages and brought back to his hometown of Innsmouth,Massachusetts. The idol was then lost for a few decades after a government raid until it turned up on a remote island off the coast of New England. The island was home to a large lighthouse with two attendant caretakers that were apparently driven mad due to isolation. The idol was blamed for at least one of the caretaker's loss of sanity as the idol is rumored to cause hallucinations and other bizarre psychological manifestations.
Further analysis on Item # 8745-B2 has returned puzzling results. The item is not made of whale bone, but of an as of yet unidentified species of marine animal. Carbon dating places the origin of the bone at nearly 10,000 BCE and the scrimshaw carving at around the 9th Century CE.
Item # 8745-B2 may not leave Miskatonic University Special Collections Department at any time due to numerous attempts at theft by the Esoteric Order of Dagon."
Cast in solid white resin with a dark brown acrylic rub to simulate scrimshaw. Includes catalog letter from Miskatonic University.
