In this episode of the India Today Art Project, Manish Adhikary breaks down why the sale of this skull ignited outrage among activists and anthropologists.
Furious Indian politicians, activists and academics have demanded a 200-year-old skull listed for auction in former colonial ruler Britain, alongside at least 25 other remains, to be returned home.
A "19th-century horned Naga human skull" was among more than 20 items involving human remains listed for a one-day sale on Wednesday by the Swan Fine Art auction house in Tetsworth, Oxfordshire.
