In my travels I've encountered many strange, and inspiring curiosities. I came across this particular artifact in an old dockworkers shop up in northern Scandinavia. The man explained to me that it was a shrunken head used to word of evil spirits! I eagerly bartered it in trade for a pair of thick wool mittens. Although I purchased it as just a gag, I can now see that the small head in fact bears real human teeth! It appears the head itself however is composed of a blackened clay. I now have the specimen displayed proudly in my book case under glass.
