The gospels say that Herod Antipas had John the Baptist beheaded early in the mission of Jesus, at the request of his wife Herodias, who had a quarrel with John. The gospels do not say what Herodias then did with John's head.
We can not rely on history for the answer to what Herodias did, since it appears from the record of the Jewish historian Josephus that John the Baptist died approximately 35 CE in the castle of Macherus, both too late and too far away for the gospel story. Moreover, Herod had John imprisoned and executed because he feared a Jewish uprising to result from John's criticism of him, contrary to the gospel version that he reluctantly had John beheaded after Herodias tricked him. On this evidence, Herodias never asked for, and never received John's head.

What did they do with John the Baptist's head after they put it on the platter?
AnswerIn the gospels, the daughter of Herodias is said to have asked for the head of John the Baptist on a platter, during a feast for the chielf men of Galilee. However the Jewish historian Josephus says that John was simply executed for objecting to the marriage of Herod Antipas to his brother's former wife, Herodias, and that the execution took place in Macherus, a castle quite remote from where the feast would have been held. If we accept Josephus' account, John the Baptist never had his head on a platter.The answer to this question depends on whether we accept the gospel account or that of Josephus. If the former, then we do not know what happened to John's head. If the latter, then we can say that John's head was not placed on a platter, and nothing unusual happened to it.
