ETHIOPIAN
Kambatta Headrest 106
7.5" high x 7.5" wide
$100
This headrest has lost its two flanges, one obviously, and has a visible chip out of the base. 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.
