None. My grandfather was in the navy, and their nearest base was in New Guinea. He brought home a "shrunken head", which was made of black rubber, and a spear, and a grass skirt, as souvenirs...but even back then the so called "shrunken heads" were fake.

@4meAndyou They had some at the university museum on display until the American Indians here had a protest back in the 1970’s and then they removed them. It was a small museum and we visited for the first time in 6th grade for a field trip. If I remember correctly these were taken from a tribe in South America.

@4meAndyou I saw a real one once in a museum display. It was really creepy. The guy was a rich game hunter who used to travel all over the world and he collected all these weird things. One of them a shrunken human head.

@Adrift It’s been illegal to import them since 1940. Ripley’s Museum has the largest collection of all.
