Sich mit reizvollen Objekten zu umgeben, ist seit jeher ein wesentliches Anliegen aller Völker. Das Streben nach Schönheit kommt unter anderem auch bei der Formgebung von kunstvoll gestalteten Alltagsgegenständen zur Geltung.

Der gestalterische Wille perfekte Lösungen bei der Verschmelzung technisch-praktischer und formal-ästhetischer Funktionen zu kreieren, hat über die Generationen erstaunlich faszinierende Lösungen hervorgebracht.

Nackenstützen dienten nebst der Grundfunktion auch dazu, aufwendig und kunstvoll geflochtene Frisuren beim liegen zu schützen.

Sie wurden vielfach von Nomaden am Gürtel befestigt mitgeführt und waren äusserliche Zeichen der Klan- und Rang-Zugehörigkeit.
