Hop-tu-naa turnip

A carved turnip (or "moot") ready for hop-tu-naa.

The moot shows Jinny the Witch, her cat, some stars and a moon. On other faces of the moot are a castle, a fishing boat and a cottage.

This moot was traditionally carved in the style associated with Peel by Sue Woolley in 2016.

More about the carving of turnips and the traditions of Hop-tu-naa can be found on the Culture Vannin website: www.culturevannin.im/video_story_452243.html
