Severed horse head
Artifact from Hollywood region

It is tradition to place a horse head in the bed of those with uncertainty. Legend has it that a horse head awakening a person in the morning will fill their conscience with assurance in what they need to do. Historical records show that horse heads such as this one may have been used instead of a real one as horses were, at one time, only accessible to those with the enough wealth to play jockey polo or those with enough wealth to afford more than one horse at a time if using real heads.

Purchase through the Francis C. Endowment Fund
