2: Gurage: A neckrest manufactured from a whole block of wood with rounded corners, on a round base plate carved out from the same piece. Minor age-related tears. H: 16 cm, W: 9 cm.
3: Arussi or Kambatta: A neckrest with support surface and bottom board. Between them are four struts. All carved from a single piece of hard wood and dyed black. H: c. 16 cm, W: 6 cm. (ME)
