ETHIOPIAN, FLAT HEADRESTS, 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. This group I refer to as "Flat". The back view (shown) of each is similar to the front view. Many still have a protruding bump, pierced for a cord. The side views are numbered from left to right.
