Hand-carved wooden headrest. Its dark tone is very sophisticated and the incisions that have been marked on the piece add geometries that guarantee a typically African look

It is an indispensable element for the members of the tribes of East Africa, since it allows those who use it to keep their hairstyles, as important as these are to show the status one holds in their tribe.
 
Its shape and dimension is typically African and focuses visual attention wherever it is exposed.
 
This comes from the Omo Valley, in the South of Ethiopia.
