Real Shrunken Heads! - General Tiki

They aren't the sort of thing you see too often these days as the average museum is too stuffy to keep them on display. It's a shame I couldn't get greater detail, but they were behind glass and in a position where it was difficult to get a decent angle. Close-up, they are incredible - just like the tiny little heads they are, but with slightly longer eyelashes/facial hair than normal, as I guess hair doesn't shrink much. They were probably the most popular display there! Anyway, hope you like them. Trader Woody
