Headrest / occasional stool, Pokot people, Kenya Wood, aluminum Here's a beautiful three-legged headrest that could occasionally be used as a stool. It comes from the Pokot ethnic group, which resides in Kenya and Uganda. Carved from a single piece of blond wood, it has acquired an intense patina over the years of use. With its indigenous aluminum repair, it possesses formidable elegance. Headrests from the Horn of Africa were highly personal objects used daily. Today, they survive only in a few isolated regions of the continent, particularly in the area where the four borders of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan meet.
