I guess I should have been more descriptive in my title. News story in the link describes an Aztec skull rack uncovered by archeologist in Mexico City.

FTA: Aztecs used wooden poles to suspend the skulls between vertical posts…

Sounds ever so much nicer than the crummy plastic hooks that came with my Ikea skull racks.

Yes, Whenever, I was expecting to see some manufacturer offering skull racks, I was about to order three.

Actually, the news story just mentions (and describes) skull racks. What the archaeologists found was a largish circle made of several dozen skulls (presumably of sacrificial victims) cemented so they were all facing the center. So they could watch.
