I have compiled a wealth of unique treasures, antiques and artworks from Asia with a fantastic and mysterious history from travels, China, Japan, Bali, Tibet, Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia, Taiwan, Philippines, Laos and Vietnam. My fascination with Asia inspired me to move here from England and become an avid collector/buyer of Asian oriental antique statues, carvings, puppets, bronzes and unique objects, other items have been from years of collecting and accumulating from estates, private collections and auctions. NAGA RITUAL HEADHUNTERS ANCESTRAL HUMAN SKULL TROPHY BUFFALO HORNS Stunning Dayak Hill tribe village headhunter/ancestors skull trophy with wild boars teeth, feathers, porcupine quill and cowry shells mounted on a radional board using rattan.. One of many new pieces I have just picked up from a dealer friend. This was made by the Dayak tribe but the skull is made from ceramic as real skulls are no longer used, from the info I have this was originally a museum display piece and then was sold onto a private collector when the museum closed. The bottom 4 photos are of other skulls I have on ebay this week for sale and more to come. The Dayak tribe from the Borneo islands in Indonesia carve designs into skulls of their headhunted victims and insert wooden figures. The Dayak, Ifugao and Naga human skulls are headhunter’s trophies.
