| The Burrell Collection - Acc No. 29/169 - Not shrunken heads, but stuffed forms that had black stitching around them. See discussion below |
I know, I know - there must be many of you out there screaming that you wanted to see the other two sides! So here they are. The stumpwork casket has two angels and the other has a lion and a unicorn (the second of each on this piece!).

Many people have reached out to me to ask if one of the motifs is a shrunken head with the angel. It isn't, the embroidery is rubbed off the stuffed form and so it look like that in grainy pictures.

The buttons or brooches that hold the angel's fabric in place are wonderful!
