Shrunken heads were taken as ceremonial trophies by aboriginal Amazonian tribes. Although it is true that these trophies were taken occasionally by native warriors, curiosity among European explorers drove tribes to establish an industry around the procurement, processing, and selling of these grotesques for outstripping tradition.
