An authentic hand carved human trophy skull from the Dayak tribe who are indigenous to Borneo, Indonesia. These are very rare and hard to come by. Each skull is unique and intricately carved and often feature floral motifs or stylized vulval imagery on the forehead. They are often stained with a brown patina and are mounted on display boards in pairs or triplets. They are believed to date from the 18th and 19th centuries before headhunting gradually faded out after the European colonization of the area.
