Indonesian Tribal Anteater Form Headrest, Irian Jaya, Mid-20th Century
About the Item
A whimsical and intriguing headrest carved from a single piece of hardwood in the form of an anteater. The curved back of the animal would have supported the neck and displays a wonderfully warm patina from tribal use.
The anteater's over sized head has been carved in a charming manner.
Found in Sumatra, but most likely traded from Irian Jaya.
