Basically, a scene where, after killing someone, they are beheaded and the head is held up to demonstrate it. Sub-Trope of Off with His Head, which is about death by decapitation. This trope is about presenting the severed head in some way, be it by holding it up, or showing it stabbed on a pike, etc... Reality check: A human head weighs around 7 kg (or for those living in the US, 15.4 lbs.); however, few shows manage to portray this realistically. Compare Dead Guy on Display. Examples of Decapitation Presentation include:

  • Basically, a scene where, after killing someone, they are beheaded and the head is held up to demonstrate it. Sub-Trope of Off with His Head, which is about death by decapitation. This trope is about presenting the severed head in some way, be it by holding it up, or showing it stabbed on a pike, etc... Human heads are not required. Any character engaging in this is an Anti-Hero at best, unless it's not the head of anything resembling a human at all, like a dragon. In the latter case, the purpose of this trope is to show off the badassness of the character carrying the head. If it's a human head, it effectively shows that the character has no problem with killing people and often serves as a form of psychological warfare. An army engaging in this is nearly always evil and often very primitive.
