Greetings.This isa sweet hand carved, old,wooden Africanheadrestwhich was tribally made from a single piece of wood by the Luba tribe of the Congo. This headrest depicts a pair of figures - two men who are supporting the wooden \'pillow\' on their heads. Good Condition with a piece of wood missing from one side of the \'pillow topper\'. African tribal people use thier hairstyles to proudly show their age, gender and status. The elaborate tribal hairstyles are often embellished with beads, shells, butter and colored pigments. Most tribal hairstyles therefore require the use of a headrest which was used primarily to support the neck in order to protect the hours of labor intense hair styling as the head could not be directly laid upon. Headrest were brought with the owner everywhere they went so they could be used whenever required. This amazingheadrestmeasures7 incheslong across the top and6.50inchestall.This specimen is verydesirable and would make a fine addition to any African culture collector\'s treasure trove.
