SO neat to find this thread as shrunken heads have been on my mind. I have just began re-reading Moby Dick (well - I am actually attempting the audiobook version - all 40 hours of it!) and had totally forgotten about the amazing bit in the first chapter about the Maori prince Queequeg selling the shrunken heads he purchased in New Zealand in the nighttime streets of New Bedford. Such an amazing image! VanTiki |
