The unique item shown on the image is the exact item you will receive.
Headrests were carved by their owners while others were exquisitely crafted by professional carvers. These headrests often supported elaborate coiffures that were far too complex and time consuming to restyle on a daily basis. Some hair styles even take up to 50 hours to create. Small wooden supports protected these styles during sleep, helping to preserve a hairstyle for weeks or even months at a time. Headrests were seen as a seat of the dreams, seeing Luba people thought dreams to be prophetic and a form of communication from the other world. A headrest like this would be used by two people.
