This headrest exhibits wear and is in good condition except for a little roughness on the ends of the top. It has a wire loop for carrying and decorative beads. The metal base is included.
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.
