Set of thirteen neck rests, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia Height: 11 to 23 cm Wood. Brought together in a beautiful set, these thirteen neck rests illustrate the richness and diversity of pastoral traditions in the Horn of Africa. While all serve the same purpose—supporting the head during sleep while preserving hairstyles—they display a striking variety of shapes, base designs, and sculptural treatments. This collection attests to the remarkable craftsmanship of the region’s artisans, who are capable of reinventing a single type through highly inventive forms. Provenance: Parisian gallery.
