People were also curious about where the doll came from.

Kitty Dobson said: “This is 100 per cent from the massive job lot that was doing the rounds after the TV show Britannia ended and all the props ended up on the south coast in various charity shop.”

Daniella Vine, said: “Everyone is hating on this but I genuinely think this a really beautiful piece of art, it’s not for everyone no, but the time and effort that would have gone into weaving this and the details are amazing”

Sarah Aplin said: “Oh, if only I had the space and the moneys. This is a bespoke handmade prop so not overpriced at all.”
