Bembe headrest - SOLD OUT

African monoxyl neckrest with a curved seat to place the neck. The two ends have appendages: on one side a very stylized head, on the other the tail. Beautiful old patina testifying to the intensive use of the piece. Many African ethnic groups use these very personal items. This one is of Bembe origin.
