Himba man with his headrest - Angola

Himbas, like many tribes in Africa use headrest, or wood pillow, to protect their haircut. Himbas have this kind of pillow, and sometimes put some leather on the top to have a real pillow effect!

The headrest is sometimes the only thing they own from their family, with the ornaments they wear.
