The tall, cone-shaped central support of this headrest has been structured into four bands, in which the central band has been decorated with inverted V-shaped designs. The curved neck support is adorned with engraved patterns of crosses and adjoining triangles, and at each end, features two flat lugs with holes, from which strands of beads would have been hung. As shown in the photographs, one of the lugs is missing a small section to one side.
