Real photo postcard showing a display of unusual curiosities including several small heads arranged along a shelf with a central torso‑like specimen. The printed caption at the upper left describes the items as shrunken heads of Jivaro Indians from South America and notes they were obtained by Ye Olde Curiosity Shop in Seattle.


The card shows multiple specimens arranged in rows for viewing, with hair and facial features visible on each head. Displays of ethnographic or novelty curiosities such as shrunken heads were popular attractions in early twentieth century curiosity shops and museums.


The front bears the printed text: Printed caption describing “Shrunken heads of Jivaro Indians from South America… obtained by Ye Olde Curiosity Shop Seattle Washington.”. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation including a date.
