Ethiopian headrest

These massive wooden headrests come from various groups in southern Ethiopia and are designed to help people maintain their elaborate hairstyles while they sleep. Hairstyles are often a sign of the age, gender and status of their owner and are often decorated with magical-religious accessories. That's why they need to be protected. The headrests also play an important role in wedding ceremonies.

The headrests are made of dark wood with fine marks, scratches and cracks that add to their authentic nature.
