   Two heads are better than one!  Our brown head has real bone nose bling and our white hair head has a metal nose ring! .   Check out the details!  Sure to creep even the stoutest of hearts!  They have been made by local tribesmen with indigenous features.  They both have very long hair and facial hair.  Each head offered has been individually crafted.  The tribesmen use domestic goats (species: farmed domestic goats) for the hide and hair.  The also use the tribe methods used to make the original shrunken heads.   The head  was individually crafted from goat hide and hair in Ecuador by a talented artisan using methods comparable to original tsantsa (head shrinking).  String is also used to sew the mouth and eyes shut on these guys.  This two are displayed on a vintage double candle holder that hangs on the wall, see ruler in last picture.  Approx  12 x 12 x 5 1/2" with the hair.  The heads are not glued to the stand and can be taken off the wall hanging stand.   They are easy to adjust on the stand as well. 


The shrinking of human heads was originally only practiced by the Shuar people of Ecuador to trap the souls of their enemies.   They later became popular due to European demand from collectors for them. 

It is no longer legal to shrink human heads so the modern tourist pieces are made from the skin of farmed domestic goats.


Species: Capra hircus  Domestic Goat
