This is a wonderful Senufo Etched Wood Carved Animal Headrest from Mali. Headrests are used by men and women in many areas of Africa. Headrests are portable and publicly visible objects of prestige. In some places, they can be used as political gifts and as symbols that legitimatize leadership. Headrests are personal objects that serve many purposes. They cradle the neck and support the head like a pillow, they protect elaborate hairstyles and they may aid in dreams, where an individual can communicate with ancestors. This is a very unique headrest and would be a great addition to your collection or home.
Shows age, has a nice patina, but overall in good condition.
