ETHIOPIAN HEADREST 2, ETHIOPIA
ETHIOPIAN, Headrest 2, 8", $100 damaged, Ethiopia
© Tim Hamill
In many African cultures, small wooden "pillows" are
used to support the head during sleep and in some instances to preserve
a hairstyle. In Ethiopia, the headrests come in several forms and relate
to other intricate, but abstract works. Note the repaired but missing edge
on right side.
