This headrest is hand carved on the top, with use of a lathe on the base. It is in fairly good condition.
n 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.
