Object: A Tellem Headrest
Size: 8
Age: 14th - 17th Century
Provenance: Pierre Dartevelle, Brussels
Jo De Buck, Brussels
Notes: These headrests were buried with the dead
in caves hundreds of years ago. This example is
constructed in a beautiful thin minimalist form.
Almost Babylonian in conception; this is a very
memorable piece and the layered burial patina is
quite impressive.
