Ethiopian Carved Headrest

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
So as not to muss their intricate hairstyles while sleeping, Ethiopian women would traditionally rest their heads on these petite wooden stands. The combination of conic base and concave rest gives this functional item an elevated sense of artistry. Intricately detailed and expressively shaped, the headrest makes for an intriguing addition to a bookcase, desk, or side table.
