It isn't a "shrunken head." St. Oliver Plunkett was the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland. During the so-called "Popish Plot" persecution of Catholics, he was falsely accused, and was condemned for treason -- with his treason largely being that he was a Catholic bishop. On July 1, 1681, he died the standard death for those convicted of treason: he was hanged, and then his body was cut down. His intestines and heart were cut out of his body and burnt, his head was cut off, and the body was quartered. He was thus already in pieces when he was buried. His head was preserved separately, and over the last 300 years it has naturally dried out, or "mummified", if you will -- which means that it is not the same as the head of a living person.
If anyone here who is a believer dies and they uncover your skull it would not be seen as a saintly relic in the eyes of those who think one needs to be canonized a saint, which is as the saying goes baloney! As for Christian believers not in bondage to religion it would be one of hundreds of millions of skulls of saints (though who were saints in the eyes of God not a bureaucracy of religiosity aka, .........man.

I'm sorry, but was that inchoherent statement actually suposed to mean something?
Dosn't look shrunken to me...Do you know the process of shinking a head?...
It must be shrunken because the person who photographed it,was there in person, in the actual presence of the head. So if he says it's shrunken, then it must be shrunken.

So you think that photographers can never be mistaken in their descriptions of the things they photograph?

Granted, sometimes mistakes can be made. But not in this case. Due to the considerable difference in size, the fact that it's a Shrunken head would be obvious.
