Description: w32 #1.6 So much for just hanging around, you can lose your head! Maybe be carried off by a creature of the night! It looks as though this (faux) bat has stolen this trophy from its rightful owner! Sure to creep even the stoutest of hearts! He has been made by local tribesmen with indigenous features. He has 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 guy is a hanging display , approx. size 8 x 6 x 6", see ruler in last picture. Species: Capra hircus 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.
