CUTTY SARK - Undergarment / Witch to Tea Clipper

 Toby, one of our Managers mentioned the Cutty Sark as an interesting item for our readers.

There is a connection with the famous writer Robert Burns, who created a character in his Poem Tam O’Shanter’. 
A farmer called Tam is pursued by a scantiiy clad Nannie Dee, who was in-fact a witch.  She was wearing an undergarment, which in the 18th Century was known as a Cutty-sark. 
The figurehead of the Tea Clipper Cutty Sark is named after Nannie Dee.  What does she hold in her hand ?
