This headrest is hand carved throughout, with no apparent use of a lathe on the base. It is in fairly good condition despite a visible crack and three chips on the base.
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.
