Tiger, there is no Art Swap Theme Police ~ whatever says "Cannibal" to you as an artist, but it is Tiki Central so it would be best to focus on South Pacific cannibalism and not the Donner Party or Jeffrey Dahmer.

Cannibalism was considered to be part of many of the the cultures of Melanesia including Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, and Vanuatu, it is rumored to be still practiced by the Korowai tribe of Papua New Guinea today. Inspiration could be something "sensational" like a pile of bones, shrunken head, or stew pot. Or it could be an object related to the practice of cannibalism like a Figi cannibal fork or a Solomon Islands nguzunguzu (war canoe prow ornament)
