Old Kambatta Ethiopian Wood Headrest Hematite Measurements: necklace length 40cm/15Old Kambatta wooden headrest from Ethiopia. Carved from a single piece of wood. Pre 1950. The patina and wear on this piece are appropriate to its age. In particular, note that the upper surface is darkened from use and the leading edges are smooth from use. This beautifully stylised piece sits taller than the usual height for African headrests. Measurements: height 18. 5 cm, width 16. 5 cm Hand carved wood headrests are used throughout Africa as
