Our Disneyland shrunken head came from Peru, and we had sevearl others during WW2 when we had Trade Winds Trading Company at 959 La Cieniga Blvd. Daddy was South Sea island Trader and had several men who shipped him stuff in big crates. Wooden carved clubs, shileds etc. Where is all that art now?? The name of one of the men was Drumgold. After the war, daddy boaught lots of thes eitems from returoing soldiers and sailors who'd picke dit up from the islands. An interesting time! The process for the shrunken head was amazing! W ew ere just told abpout the hot sand and rocks.. I wish I knew how to copy it off! Would it be possible for "Trader" to email it to me? Auntie B
