Shrunken heads: Tsantsa
Brief on how to make a Tsantsa
Aside from using a tsantsa to prevent vengeance from beyond the grave, the Jivaro would also create shrunken heads as trophies of revenge against tribes that had wronged their ancestors. Furthermore, a tsantsa was a not-so-subtle warning to others not to mess with them lest your head also end up on a necklace too.
The actual process of creating these shrunken heads in the first place is almost as unusual as the final result itself. After some poor tribesmen were decapitated (either while dead or alive; the end result was the same), the Jivaro took their heads, sewed their eyelids shut, and sealed their mouths with wooden pegs. The heads were then tossed into a big pot and boiled for as long as two hours, by which time it would be about one-third as large as it had been, if not smaller.
The Jivaro would then skin the head, turn the skin inside out, and sew the skin back onto the head (why, exactly, remains unclear). Finally, hot stones and sand would be inserted into the head to make it contract even more.
Once the head had contracted, more hot stones would be applied to the outside to heat the face enough to seal its shape. Once the face was finished, the head would be rolled in charcoal and hung over a fire to harden. This was also done to keep the muisak inside the head and prevent it from doing any haunting. Finally, after all that, you would have a finished tsantsa.
Would our customers go for such practices?
Which one: the wax or resin figures?
