So as not to muss their intricate hairstyles, 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. Expressively shaped with a beautifully worn finish, the headrest makes for an intriguing addition to a bookcase, desk, or side table.
