When night falls on the lands, your prey will emerge from the underdark. Much of your village has come to fear the underground elves and the silence in which they strike. They must be stopped.

Along with your fellow hunters, you see the first dark elf leave the safety of his cave. He doesn't have a chance to go far before your arrow finds his heart. You will take his head and leave it at the cave's exit as a warning to his brethren.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Dark Elf Shrunken Head is a ghastly latex accessory designed to look like the shrunken head of a dark elf foe. Made from 100% natural latex and synthetic hair, this head adornment can be hung from a belt or staff using its weathered hair. It is sure to create fear in the hearts of your enemies.

The Dark Elf Shrunken Head is 12cm tall and 8cm wide with a pointed nose and pointed ears. Sculpted and handpainted details make it appear as if the head had been cut off, de-boned and preserved through a drying process. A sculpted latex bone has been set through the trophy's nose and the lips have been pierced with beaded strings for decoration. The Shrunken head is ebony-coloured with shaded creases and wrinkles. It can be carefully dry-brushed or customized using Epic Effects Make-Up.

HISTORY

Similar in use to the historical practice of human trophy collecting.
Remains of the deceased were collected to demonstrate dominance or to commemorate.
Dark elves were first mentioned in Norse mythology as the ?Dökkálfar? or ?Svartálfar? written in the Prose Edda in the 13th century.

QUALITY

Thick 100% natural high-quality latex skin.
Beautiful attention to detail, with clear and fine lines.
Requires little maintenance.
Realistic weight and colours conforming with other Epic Effects products.
High customizability.

Storage

Do not expose the mask to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time.

Modifications

Avoid the use of all oils and makeup colours that contain any oils. Epic Armoury Water Based Makeup can be used on the head itself.

Natural leather products are very durable, but require regular maintenance with leather care products to stay flexible and to increase life-time. Make sure your leather products are kept dry when stored. Let wet leather dry naturally before treating. If frequently wet and dry, increase frequency of maintenance.

Cleaning

It is best to start cleaning leather from the most delicate measures possible. Therefore, use a damp cloth with a little soap. If this is not enough - use a hard brush to remove dirt. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue, and then use a dry cloth to wipe away the remaining water from the leather. Let it dry completely before the next maintenance step.

Conditioning

Always keep the leather maintenance after cleaning, because the soap will remove some of its natural oils. Apply mink oil, olive oil or professional lanolin-based fats to clean leather using a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of fat with circular movements. Wait for the fat to soak in the leather, then use a clean cloth to clog the residue. For maintenance, you can also use beeswax by heating it to a liquid state and applying it to the leather. Remember that the leather so preserved will be harder and significantly darken what sometimes is the desired effect.
