Description

The art of head shrinking is historically real and documented in multiple cultures. It's purpose varied and has changed over time. Often to ward off evil spirits, and scare would be enemies. The heads would be placed on pikes surrounding a village, or even worn around the neck of fighters or tribal leaders. Shrunken heads were also used in religious and spiritual ceremonies to honor respected leaders and fallen warriors. Some cultures with facial tattoos would preserve their loved ones and were used as a memorial to show honor and respect. Western visitors & other traders, over time diminished them to trinkets and souvenirs, and it's estimated as much as 80%, if not more 'shrunken heads' are made from animal skins and not authentic human heads. I've used artificial intelligence in an attempt to replicate a likeness of what they could have looked like. No disrespect is intended to their historical and / or cultural significance to peoples around the world.
