“International” Shrunken Head From Ecuador Returns Home
A ritualistic shrunken head from Ecuador that was made from the skull of a warrior in the tribal Amazon region found its way to a US museum and it has now been studied and recreated in 3D. The findings of a new study have determined that the shrunken head from Ecuador had served as a prop in a 1979 movie, but finally, the artifact has been returned to its country of origin.
“Shrunken heads” is the collective term referring to specially prepared severed human heads that served as war trophies and in rituals in ancient Ecuador and Peru, where they were an important part of the indigenous economy.

A shrunken head that was on display for years at a university in Georgia has been returned to the place it came from.
Known as a “tsantsa,” the artifact has been sent back to its home country of Ecuador after researchers realized it was the real thing.
NBC News reports that the artifact had been sitting on display at Mercer University in Macon for decades. The tsantsa had even been glued to a fake body and used as a prop in the 1979 John Huston movie, “Wise Blood,” a dark comedy film starring Brad Dourif of “Chucky” fame.
