Decorative.
The headrest serves as a pillow
that is both cool & comfortable
in a tropical climate.It also
protects elaborate hairstyles by
raising the head above the
bed's surface. In addition to
the great personal attachment
that Luba people developed
for their headrests, these were
also seen as the seat of dreams.
Luba consider dreams to be
prophetic and communicate
messages from the other world.
