ETHIOPIAN, Headrests, Ethiopia

This headrest has small chips on one end of the top. Otherwise it is in fairly good condition.

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.
