Headhunter harvest

Interesting Diana thanks for sharing , you wonder how much the world has actually moved on.

......if at all! Exactly...we just headhunt in more sophisticated ways now!

that's what came into my mind immediately looking at this image. it's even much worse today, how 'inhuman' so called 'civilized humans' are.......

So very true!!!

Terrific shot!

Thanks!

Well taken and presented and, at least, they're cultural relics and the practice now has stopped.

Which is something to be thankful for!

oh yes, these good old times... :-)

Yes.....good that they have passed, you mean!!!

of course, of course..... ;-)

The attractive tones here make the sombre colours interesting, and of course the sombre colours are appropriate to the subject. As is clear from the previous responses, this is a striking view.

It brings back memories, too. One of the formative experiences of my childhood was watching people at St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal line up to touch a casket containing Brother (now St.) André's heart. That's the recent past, too. For all I know they're still doing it.

Thank you John. Yes...it is interesting that relics can hold as much fascination today in developed countries, with educated people. Yet they would probably scoff at the 'primitive' beliefs suggested by these heads.
We humans are a very strange lot, over all...

Us humans have always been a bit weird...an interesting relic, Di. I love things of cultural intrigue. Cool find and capture.
Glad you're still here.

Graphic / poignant and a reminder too, even though this was a long ago practice, we all have our own shameful, less visible pasts.
Thank you for this image; truly.

Thank you Judith. Yes...a reminder of just how awful man can be to man....

Coutumes des tribus primitives. Merci du partage !
Actuellement notre monde n'est guère mieux sous d'autres formes !
Brrrr !!!

Plus ça change, plus.....etc

Merci Eve

Great creation.

Thanks, Don
