Dogon/Tellem style headrest, Mali

An interesting double tiered headrest covered with a brown and grayish patina.
This headrest was part of an interactive discussion on Rand African Art a while back. I asked people their thoughts on it's
authenticity and then posted people's opinions, along with the opinions of an expert on these objects. It was very
interesting and even if you're not interested in buying this headrest, it was an interesting exercise and worth taking a look
at if you haven't seen it before.
