This headrest has its leather cord for carrying attached to it.
This was so valuable to its owner, that they did some metal repair work to the underside prolong its life.
Headrests protect elaborate hairstyles. This particular type of headrest is used by the Toposa, Didinga and Larim in Sudan, and also across a wide area of northern Uganda, northern Kenya (like the Turkana) and in adjacent areas of Ethiopia.
