    Object Description

    Unusual headrest with general horizontal layout. Crossbar curves upwards at ends and is supported by two asymmetrical shapes at either end. In between them is a seated male figure positioned sideways as if he were holding up the crossbar with his head and very large hands. He appears to be wearing a long top and shoes. The base is a flat rectangle that is angled upwards on both sides towards the upper centre. Zig-zag, tendril, star, plant, circle and other designs decorate the headrest.
