Note: The Shona people live in Zimbabwe and neighboring regions of southern Africa. Their sculptural production is linked to everyday uses and belief systems.
Headrests are used to preserve elaborate hairstyles during sleep, while maintaining an elevated posture. They can also accompany their owners in ritual contexts, some being invested with personal or protective value.
With their structured, balanced form, these objects reflect attention to both function and symbolic presence.
