Luba Headrest
Historically headrests date back to ancient times. They are considered to be one of the most important of their few possessions that they travelled with. Whilst used primarily to rest their heads upon whilst sleeping, protecting them from dust and insects as well as preserving elaborate coiffures. They also have spiritual powers which evoke dreams. They were extremely personal to the owner, never lent to others and highly prized.
This stunning headrest comes from the Luba people of the Congo and is hand-carved from indigenous wood in a unique, non-traditional design.
