The Xochiya Shrunken Head Artefact is an imagined ceremonial relic combining the unsettling form of a traditional tsantsa with ornate Aztec and Mayan-inspired design.
Hand sculpted and produced in highly detailed resin, the Xochiya Shrunken Head is carefully hand-painted and weathered to create an aged, disturbingly lifelike appearance. Matted hair, twine and a realistic bone piercing bring additional texture and authenticity to the piece. Elaborate gold jewellery and a beautifully decorated display base complete the artefact, making it ready to haunt your cabinet of curiosities without any further preparation.
