A beautiful authentic LUBA neck rest, D.R. Congo. Beautiful detailed figure with good patina is balancing the neckrest with her hands and head.
The wooden neck rest is widely used by women to protect their hairdo. When they lie on the support with their neck, there is no weight on the hair which allows the hairdo to stay intact.
Beautiful aged patina, good condition. The right arm contains a crack.
