Antique African Wooden Head Rest or Stool
About the Item
Beautiful museum quality, wooden head rest or stool. Stunning patina on this rare piece of art from Sudan. Hand carved from a single block of wood by the Dinka tribe. Circa 1900
This head rest or stool was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
