Shrunken Heads - General Tiki

That got me thinking, 'where do shrunken heads fit in the scheme of all things Tiki'? They are rarely mentioned on Tiki Central, yet Yma Sumac has done an album about headhunting, and seeing the real thing at the Pitt Rivers Museum alongside Tikis shows that the connection isn't just tenuous. But how about those little plastic shrunken heads that dangle from car mirrors. They seem to have more conection with the 60's surf scene than Tiki. But would you have a couple in your bar? Hmmmmmmm..... Trader Woody
