ETHIOPIAN HEADREST 21, ETHIOPIA
ETHIOPIAN, Headrest 21, 7.5", $100 damaged, Ethiopia

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 missing edge on left side,
fixed but not complete.
