WF002082

Scalp which has been stretched on a wooden hoop. The fine texture of the hair suggests that the scalp may have come from a child. The white beads used on the revers (presumably this means they cannot be seen) to form a Morning star symbol indicate that the piece may have had a ceremonial significance. --- Image by © Werner Forman/CORBIS
