Maori heads once a prized collector's item in Britain.

In the early 19th century, tattooed, decapitated, and dried Maori heads became a coveted collector’s item across Britain. They are known as mokomokai, or Toi moko. The disturbing trade began in 1770 with Joseph Banks, the botanist who travelled with James Cook. It sparked a dangerous economy around head-hunting and head-selling, and helped fuel bloody tribal wars. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-14/mokomokai-maori-heads-stuff-the-british-stole-repatriations/12771180?nw=0
