jibarizar 36
JIBARIZAR literally reduce (heads) to a size of about 5 Cms high, work done by the jíbaros Indians or South American Shuar tribe. Once the head was cut off, the Shuar made an incision in the back and tore the skin off the skull. With a sharp element they took away his eyes, muscles and fat.
