ETHIOPIAN, HEADREST 76, 6.75", $150, SOLD, Ethiopia
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. This group is massive and solid,
with an almost circular base tapering to a narrower curving top.
