Traditional Shrunken Heads

 

These are handmade traditional shrunken heads made by the Amazonian Jivaro tribe in South America. They are made using natural resources; real animal flesh. The Jivaro tribe catch their prey “bush meat” for food and use the hides to create these shrunken heads. They may be made from rodent, goat or even monkey flesh so in effect they are real leather with real animal hair which adds to their mysteriousness and traditional look. They are hollow, water proof and very realistic. To finish they are smoke cured and hand sewn. The South Americans consider them a national treasure and it can be forbidden to export these replica shrunken heads.
 
Once we receive the heads, they are customised by adorning them with head dresses, sewn mouths & eyes, traditional plugged noses & ears. We create their hair styles and attach a handmade macramé hanging thong.

 

Below are some examples of traditional heads that we have previously created which we can reproduce for you but because of the way they are made, no two heads can be exactly the same. SEE BELOW TO ORDER A HEAD SIMILAR TO THOSE PICTURED. Postage is free of charge for orders up to £19.99 and £4.95 for all orders over this amount. Don’t forget that most heads are made to order so please allow time for us to make and ship them; 7 days for inland, 10 days for Europe and 30 days for international.
