ReplyDeleteClearly this is a modern contrivance for tribal groupings who still desiccate shrunken heads, as per their ancient traditions, and for display.
ReplyDeleteThe aforementioned noggin is placed in the cage like section, such that it might 'drip dry'.
It's so obvious...
Looks dangerous Tony. I was going to opt for something gynaecological, but I'll go for hat re-shaper.

It's for scooping-up hedgehogs for transportation to their summer pastures without gloves!

Displaying the severed head of one's foe ?
