Description
It’s amazing what we come across on our travels sourcing our little treasures!
This is a simply carved and rustic mid-20th century unique African tribal headrest (neck rest). Elaborate ones are more likely associated with the Chiefdoms. But anyone can have their headrest as a personal object. In the past, a tribal woman, prior to her marriage, would have a headrest carved for her future husband and one for herself and will be presented to her groom at their wedding, as part of a wedding gift. A bride can also receive a headrest as a wedding present from her in-father-in-law.
This is a rustic primitive piece, and whilst it’s a great talking point and would make a lovely decorative piece in a home, we also think it could be used as a headrest for meditation or yoga!
The headrest is 59 cms long, 9 cms wide and 14 cms high.
