Baban ny mheillea, 'the doll of the harvest,' from harvest celebration traditions on the Isle of Man (Celt/Norse derivation). The Baban ny mheillea was made from the last handful of corn collected at the end of the harvest. The corn was made into a doll figure and dressed to represent a woman (fertility). It was placed on the chimney piece at the end of the harvest and left there until next year when it would be replaced with a new one. (See, Folk-Lore of the Isle of Man)
