DESCRIPTION
Headrest of the Karamojong-Pokot ethnic group. Kenya, Uganda, 20th century.
Wood.
Old faults and cracks. Chip in the central foot.
Measurements: 12 x 13 cm.
Of simple line, it is an object of use, since most of the funeral headboards were decorated with gods to protect the possessor in the moments of sleep, as well as inscriptions with names and titles of the deceased, or more elaborate chiselings.
Their arched shape to support the head not only ensures a relatively comfortable position while sleeping, but also allows air to circulate around the head. Still, due to its rigidity, it is believed to be more for votive use.
