This is a hand-carved wooden headrest originating from the Turkana people of northwestern Kenya, used to elevate the head while sleeping. This practice helps to preserve elaborate traditional coiffures and protects against dust and insects.

Due to the nomadic lifestyle of the Turkana, these items are light, portable, and often carried by men hanging from their belts, sometimes also serving as a stool. The item in the image features a braided natural fiber or leather strap integrated into the central support.

Origin: Turkana people, Northern/Northwestern Kenya
