AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Zulu headrest (izigqiki) made of hardwood, indispensable for sleeping and keeping the hairstyle. High-status people used to wear adornments and braids, which required laborious work, and it helped preserve the hairstyle by supporting the head at the nape so as not to affect the hair. Undoubtedly an image of high status.
Length: 42 cm.
