Item Details

Description

Offered for sale is a Ecuadorian shrunken head. The head features a full head of hair, porcupine quill through the nose, and textile streamers closing the mouth. A shrunken head is a severed and specially prepared human head that is used for trophy, ritual, or trade purposes. The practice of preparing shrunken heads originally had religious significance; shrinking the head of an enemy was believed to harness the spirit of that enemy and compel him to serve the shrinker. It was said to prevent the soul from avenging his death. The head looks to be in good condition with little wear. It measures 5 3/4" H x 5 3/4" W x 5" D
