When it comes to how South American headhunters make shrinking heads, it is time to make it clear. Students who like studying can find opportunities to practice.
First of all, introduce the handicraft we studied and made today-the headhunter's shrinking head specimen. South American headhunters have the ability to make the hunted head into a specimen the size of an apple, with many facial features and eyebrows, just like shrinking the head of a living person in proportion. The production process of this precious primitive handicraft has never been known to outsiders. Until the beginning of the last century, two white explorers successfully integrated into the headhunting tribe and lived with them for several months. They filmed a documentary about the family life customs of headhunters with the most advanced camera at that time, and made the secret of the headhunters' shrinking specimens public. The following is the manufacturing process.
Material: the first one of some unlucky ghost cut fresh.
Tool: a sharp knife,
A small jar
Pebble number
Hay branches are few.
The production process is as follows:
First of all, it must be clear that the hardest bone in the human body is the skull, and the head containing the skull must never be scaled down. This is also the place where most people who grope for themselves are most likely to fail. The correct method should be to cut an opening longitudinally between the neck and the back of the skull, and the length of the opening is about 1/4 of the circumference of the skull. Then carefully cut the joint between scalp and skull with a knife at the opening position. This action should be very careful not to destroy the integrity of the epidermis. Using this method, the skull can be taken out and a complete scalp with hair can be obtained.
The next method is to soak the scalp in hot water and scrape off the remaining connective tissue and muscle tissue inside the scalp. This step requires careful control of the water temperature. If the water is too hot, the hair on the scalp will fall off. If the water is not hot enough, the debris on the inside of the scalp cannot be removed.
Scalp cleaning has begun to take shape. If you need the same proportion of head specimens, you can get them now. But if you really want to shrink back, you need further processing. The next step is to put the hot pebbles burning in the carbon fire into the scalp and shrink the scalp with hot rocks. At this time, we must pay attention to the temperature and quantity of stones and be patient. If the shrinkage is too fast at one time, the sample may be deformed. The correct method should be repeated heating and shrinking a little at a time. After many contractions, the scalp can shrink to the size of an apple.
Finally, a reduced scalp specimen is made by filling hay to support the shape of the five senses, sewing the opening of the back of the head and supporting it with a wooden stick below.
