Headrest

A carved piece of wood that enables the owner to comfortably rest their head upon it. Some people prefer to place it under one ear and along the side of the chin to support the whole head. One can therefore only sleep on one’s back or one’s side. This device also protects the owner’s head from touching the ground.
