This queer-looking thing is coming up for sale at Philip Serrell auctioneers in Malvern on November 12.
The catalogue description reads: "A carved coconut rum flask, decorated with a reserved panel of the bust of a man also decorated with an eagle over a shield and with masonic symbols and with "bugbear" eyes, probably 18th century and possibly West Indian, length 5 ins."
