jibarizar
  36

JIBARIZAR literally reduce (heads) to a size of about 5 Cms high, work done by the jíbaros Indians or South American Shuar tribe. Once the head was cut off, the Shuar made an incision in the back and tore the skin off the skull. With a sharp element they took away his eyes, muscles and fat. Then they put it on hot stones and covered it with sand. With the heat of the stone and sand on the skin, the head was reduced by a fifth of its size. Figuratively, it is an allegory to indicate a drastic reduction or dwarfing (of something)
