I shall visit that sometime, I was lucky enough to be invited to the home in Toronto years ago of a guy TV studios called the real life indiana Jones, he had the largest private collection of shrunken human heads.

Did you take any pics mate..

There's a girl in the village called "Lynn" her nickname is Lynn pin..

She has the smallest head that I've ever seen in my life..its about the size of a shrunken head..

If they dried her head out when she died it would be amazingly small ?

We used to go to a chippy in Scotland that we called 'half heads' cos the woman behind the counter had no chin

Got some pics on a hard-drive in the UK, always wanted a shrunken head so maybe I can meet Lynn pin one dark evening ?

Just been watching Tucker Gott on a big telly ?

If it was dark you might not see Lynn's pin head mate ?

He's got a serious amount of videos on YouTube now..some amazing scenery..its fair to say he's living the dream mate..I often watch a few of his videos ?

Love the Leeds armouries. Went when it first opened years ago. If you like that sort of thing and history to boot…. Valletta in Malta is for you. They have some amazing museums with 1000’s of years of history. Take a walk along battlements, built since before the Romans and added to over the millennia. Amazing to look at something that was there when crusaders passed through… oh and the love the Brit’s ?‍♂️

Funnily enough I watched a documentary the other day about shrunken heads. Apparently 90% are fakes.

Yup, the genuine tsantsa, I mean genuine, go for decent £50k type cash, when you say fake there's genuine killed in battle, then there's human heads shrunk for the victoriana curio market, the goatskin/monkey etc don't figure into it, fakes in the trade usually refers to heads taken and shrunk just for sale or trade, I have seen quite a few, if your ever somewhere like pattaya pop into Ripleys, they have one on display.

Aye the second type mate, made for Victorians. One was in a museum and they DNA tested it and it turned out to be a woman ? Women were never warriors in this culture (some tribe in Ecuador I think it was) and only defeated warriors had their heads shrunk.
