Wow, that’s very much in the mood of a Maori Mokomokami preserved head. The presentation of the prop is quite good too, a kind of in situ tableau. Surprisingly the tattoo designs are very reminiscent of the Temple of Doom Thuggee cult high priest, at least for me. Nonetheless, it’s an outstanding prop.
