I came across this photo of what is most likely a picture of an explorer from late late 1800's or early 1900's who is posing with what appears to be a wall of trophy kills from some wild and exotic island somewhere in the Pacific.
I couldn't help but to think what these heads might have looked like as a retail display of rubber Topstone masks!
Whoa! Those are Mokomokai -- the preserved heads of New Zealand Maoris. More about them here -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokomokai
