Deformed Heads (Cusco, Peru)
Skulls... Deformed skulls, can you notice? This was an ancient pratice among the Inca, and was reserved to people with some status. Possibly has a way to distinguish them. The shapes were achieved by pressing the head with wooden plates and similar techniques, from an early age - when the skull is more flexible. These dudes should look pretty weird, alive and dressed up, he he!
