"AMULET".

(Pre-Columbian, Central America circa 100 to 500 CE)
The practice of taking human heads as warfare trophies or during ritualistic sacrifice to bring about agricultural prosperity was ubiquitous throughout Pre-Columbian cultures. Headhunting added a significant magical and supernatural dimension to warfare and sacrifice. Each severed head was imbued with specific meaning and the act of taking the head was consecrated and commemorated in some form.
