[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 515622, member: 84"]I bought this for only $200 from a friend whose antique shop is going out of business. It is big (53" tall), heavy and shocking (to me) - anatomically correct. Then when I got over that, I realized that the … mound at his feet is the headless, armless & legless body of the head he is holding high in the air! Was this for tourist?? Or do I have a real tribal piece? Where is it from? (My friend told me Hawaii, but I couldn't find anything about Hawaiian head hunters). Age? Finally any thoughts / info on it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
