The decapitated head was sold by an Anglo-Irish family from Co Louth to Billy Jamieson, a TV personality and tribal art collector, based in Toronto, who paid €3,500. Mr Jamieson died on July 3, the same day the cheque paying for the artefact arrived at the offices of Duleek Auctioneer Damien Matthews." and "Mr Jamieson was due to front an upcoming series on the History Channel in Canada called Headhunters.

This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT0 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I think ALT0 is more interesting than ALT1, but I would suggest omitting the mention of the "opium tea" as being irrelevant. The image does not appear in the article and therefore is not eligible for use at DYK. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you Cwmhiraeth for your review. I have added the image to the article. Would it be ok now to be included with ALT0? Thanks. Dr. K. 04:51, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. The image is now eligible for DYK, but whether it is used or not will depend on whoever promotes the hook to the queue. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
