New item listed to NightMare Society and a pretty cool one! This is an antique African head dress totem from the Ekoi . It has real human hair and possibly is covered in real human skin ( I can't tell leather by sight but it is a unique looking one it can only really be proven by having it tested but it's a possibility as some of these are covered in the skin of ekoi slaves) either way it's a win if it is it should be rather rare if not at least a poor slave just lost his hair and not his skin. You can tell this one was likely a head piece as it looks like it would have been attached to the woven headdress Came from a collection curated by a former diplomat that 2024 traveled the world. It is available for sale on NightMare Society now! Also check out the entry titled skin masks on Ripleys believe it or not page it tells the super strange history of these Ekoi pieces.
