卖家的描述
Headrest – Afar – Ethiopia – Wood – First half 20th century
Details
Origin: Afar people
Country: Ethiopia
Materials: Wood
Dimensions: 16.5 x 9 x H 15.5 cm
Period: First half of the 20th century
Provenance: Collected in situ by the present owner in the early 1990s
Description
A fine Afar wooden headrest, notable for the elegance of its architecture and the remarkable age of its patina. The form is beautifully composed, with a conical base, two arched supports, and a gently curved upper rest, creating a structure that is both spare and highly sculptural.
This example is especially appealing for the contrast between its light wood and the depth of its old, lustrous surface, particularly striking on the upper rest where use has left a superbly matured patina. The restrained silhouette, balanced proportions, and quiet refinement give the object a strong presence despite its modest scale.
A classic pastoral headrest from Ethiopia, both functional in origin and deeply satisfying as a sculptural object.
Condition
Wear, scratches, abrasions, and small irregularities consistent with age and use. Fine old patina throughout. Please refer to the photographs.
Included
The headrest only.
No stand included.
