英语词汇“cornbaby”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A rude semblance of a human figure made out of the last handful of corn cut on the harvest-field, and dressed as a female, which formerly played a part in the ceremonial of the kirn or harvest-home, and was afterwards often hung up on the farmer's kitchen wall until the next harvest, when its place was taken by a new one. Also called kirn-doll or kirn-dolly, kirn-maiden, harvest-queen, and, in books, after a mistaken suggestion of Brand (quot. 1777), corn-baby. In the most usual form, the cluster of ears formed the head of the figure, while part of the stalks were plaited into two arms, and the rest expanded as a body in skirts, the whole being decorated with ribbons or gaily dressed in doll's clothes.
