These were used as pillows to help someone to have good sleep. They also used as a comfort to help protect ceremonial coiffure. On some occasions, headrests are used as a stool. As a personal object, the headrest has become part of the individual. Usually, when the person died, he is buried with his headrest. Sometimes the headrest is passed on to his heir, who would treat it with respect because this wooden piece embodies the spirit of the deceased person.
