Lowcountry resident misses museum's shrunken heads
Shrunken heads are a product of the Jivaro clan, a tribe of people in the Amazon who considered their enemies' heads trophies. Leff can remember the four heads' sewn-up lips and eyes, and their creepy quality. They were more than interesting; they were educational, "a fascinating view" of a certain culture and should still be available for others to see, said Leff, a destination planner for Charleston Tours. So where did the shrunken heads go? According to Martha Zierden, curator of historical archaeology at the Charleston Museum, the heads are in storage. They were taken off display in the early 1980s, as public opinion changed on what was appropriate, she said. "Ethics and the way we perceive human remains have changed over the years," she said, citing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act as an example.
