    Saw this piece yesterday at one of my favorite booths (didn't buy-$140.00). It's an African Headrest, carved wood 5" to 6" tall.Love this form-an ancient shape as you can see from the Egyptian examples. (below the wood African piece).

    A very elegant one and nicely decorated. Has some age too. I think the price isn't too much for what it is, but understand why you didn't buy it.

    I agree AJ- and I've always loved this iconic form.I looked the piece up and it's not uncommon to see these go for quite a bit more in better galleries and sites.I know and really like the Dealer (and appreciate Her taste !). I might give Her a call and see if we can work out a part trade or discount ?
    PS- Thanks big for the feedback, your opinion counts a lot with me !

    I can't see how these headrests would be comfortable. I did read up on them and at least they were practical. Bosko, will you be replacing your Beautyrest pillow?
