The Swan auction house at Tetsworth in Oxfordshire had a series of skulls and other remains originating from around the world as part of ‘The Curious Collector Sale, Antiquarian Books, Manuscripts & Paintings’. The ‘19th Century Horned Naga Human Skull, Naga Tribe’ was slotted as Lot No 64 and resulted in protests in Nagaland. Tom Keane, the owner of the auction house, said the Naga skull was withdrawn in order to respect the feelings of all those involved.
