Thor’s ‘Castaway Shrunken Heads’ - Set of Two Original Sculptures - One of a Kind

"The macabre yet fascinating practice of "head shrinking" by tribes of mysterious jungle or desert islands has long been a fascination by Western culture. Movies and books of "headhunters" have greatly elaborated on this subject of curiosity. So I began to explore techniques to create the most realistic and believable replicas that could be viewed inches away, and convince the most discriminating viewer of their authenticity.

Every detail down to the pores and hairline is crafted with great care. Original sculptures were created using multiple references of the real thing, and pushed a bit further to become everything one might imagine came from a true expedition into the deepest, wild, tribal jungles.

I continue to hear stories from current owners of my replicas that they have become featured conversation collectibles in their home bars, studies and art collections. I embarked upon making these initially for my own collection, but have been commissioned over the past 10 -15 years to continue making these available because of their unmatched quality. They are definitely exotic show stoppers, and I am proud to share their intriguing presence with those who wish to acquire such a treasure of curiosity in their private collection."

Stunning Recreation of a Legendary Mask!

We’ve ordered two of these masks in different color schemes and are nearly at a loss for words - the quality and sheer impact of these are beyond anything we could have hoped for. They are simply awe-inspiring. The artists struck a perfect balance between making them feel substantial and sturdy (the edges are 3/4” thick with absolutely no flex) yet light enough to be functional as wall decor (at 4 1/2 lbs). The paint is immaculately applied and the online shop photos accurately represent how they look. Ours were “Made to Order - Ships in about 1-2 months” and were shipped 21 days after our order. These could have been in a Disney theme park attraction they are so jaw-droppingly well executed - we are very grateful for TTC making these available!!!

When I saw these on sale for Star Wars day, I HAD to have them. Now that I am done jet setting all over the globe, I fully intend to haul out the Han Solo in Carbonite ice cube trays and mix up some Star Wars-themed drinks for them.
