Vintage Ethiopian Headrest - 19.2
A sculptural vintage headrest, hand-carved from a single block of wood
Each headrest is hand-carved from a single piece of timber, no two ever quite alike. Compact yet full of presence, it makes a striking sculptural accent on a shelf, plinth or stack of books.
The story behind it
Headrests like this are traditionally used across communities in southern Ethiopia to support the head in sleep without disturbing elaborate hairstyles — coiffures that can signal a person's age, gender and status, and are often adorned with ornaments of spiritual significance. Beyond everyday use, the headrest also carries ceremonial importance, including a role in marriage rituals.
Authentic & unique
This is an authentic, previously-used object, so small cracks, scratches and tonal variation in the wood are natural and expected. Every headrest is unique in form and finish.
Size: 22cm H x 17cm W x 22cm L (each piece varies slightly)
Styling: Pairs effortlessly with greenery, natural textures and pared-back interiors — a grounding, organic accent.
