Taposa Headrest - Sudan - sold

Price: $0.00


 


African headrests were designed to preserve very elaborate hairstyles. They maintained the head at the same level as the shoulders during sleep, but their function went beyond the strictly utilitarian. Being associated with sleep and dreams, the headrest was believed to be a recipient of occult forces. It was an eminently personal object and was never lent to another. 6"Hx17"Wx12"D THIS ONE HAS SOLD - CALL FOR IMAGES OF OTHERS.
