Item Details
Description
  • Title: Himba headrest
  • Date/Period: 19th Century
  • Materials/Origin: Wood / Congo, Africa
  • Dimension: 7in X 3in X 8in
  • Description: This hand carved headrest is a unique piece of art from the Himba tribe residing in Congo. Made from wood, it is decorated with geometric shapes. It is usually hung against men's sticks, or weapons, and transported for use at destination. Its originality and ethnographic value make it a must-have for collectors of African antiques. Its history and craftsmanship speak for themselves, making it a true gem for those who appreciate the beauty and artistry of traditional African culture. Himbas, like many tribes in Africa, use headrest, or wood pillow, to protect their haircut. Himbas have this kind of pillow, and sometimes put some leather on the top to have a real pillow effect! The headrest is sometimes the only thing they own from their family, with the ornaments they wear.
