In contrast to the previous two headrests, this example seems to the western eye, architectural rather than anthropomorphic in its design. Symmetrically placed ‘windows’ have been cut through the flat, rectangular central panel in an arrangement reminiscent of a simplified building façade. The centrally placed truncated triangular shape just below the upper platform, is framed by a rectangular void, and suggests a lamp hanging from the ‘ceiling.’ The upper platform complements the visual reference to a ‘building’, as it projects over the façade as a roof would, with a gentle dip in its center and softly rounded ends. Reinforcing the architectural metaphor is the smooth, perfectly round, and polished base which suggests a welcoming front portico.

The headrest, made of a light, blonde wood, is colored with a mixture of fat and red ocher, substances generally rubbed onto the body by the Himba.
