2006 DISNEY PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN OFFICIAL MOVIE FILM PROP PELEGOSTO SKULL

Authentic,  “Pelegosto skull” movie prop from the 2006, Disney film, “Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man’s Chest” starring Johnny Depp as "Captain Jack Sparrow". Overview: “Isla de Pelegostos, also known as Cannibal Island, Pelegosto Island or simply Pelegosto, was a remote island that was home to a cannibalistic  tribe known as the Pelegostos. The island was located far from all normal shipping routes and was missing from most ocean charts. The native Pelegosto tribe used body paint and fearsome masks to blend in to the jungle environment in order to catch prey or the few unwanted visitors the island received. The tribe built their village high up on one of the flat tops of a mountain peak, and was connected by rope bridges strung over the ravines. The village huts were woven from plant fibers, and despite their fragile appearance, provided shelter from fierce tropical storms. Prisoners were known to be held in cages made from the bones of those the Pelegostos deemed unworthy to keep alive, and hung from the deep ravines.” This movie prop skull looks to have been one of the skulls used in the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow is sitting on the tribes' throne that is covered and surrounded by human skulls.
