Vendu avec un article de presse en anglais lisant: "A rare specimen of a shrunken human head, owned by Burke Ray of Village Hill, is on display at Meekins Library. The head complete with eyebrows, eyelashes and mustache, is that of a man, probably a South American, as it came from there. It was given to Burke's father, the late Dr. Erwin Ray, by a patient. Tradition has it that it was the ancient custom of the head hunter tribe to do this to their enemies, but it is apparently a lost art as many have tried to discover the secret and have failed."
