Monkeyskull ~ there is the accessory for the Voodoo Lounge ~ the skull rack ~ its big, but i bet it would fit perfectly in your basement room. the colors are perfect too! i'm estimating it is 9 feet long, 4 feet high, 5 carved skulls.. its really a beautiful artifact. the story goes, it was made by a New Guinna artist, after a trip to Berlin ~ where he saw the original, which was done by his grandfather.. it fell into the possession of missionaries (of course) and into their warehouses...or something like that.. Dr Macdonald would tell you more. it was neat to eavesdrop ~ he's full of travel tales. oddly, people were buying stuff they had no idea of... he explained the maori club in 3 different stories (all the while holding the club and chopping it in the air), but the lady still couldnt grasp how/why this weapon is used. shoulda blugeoned her ... anyways. if you have a spare 4 grand, the skull rack is yours..although i think he's willing to deal on the price. |
