Pipes and metal roofing 5-7 feet long (clear the roads or you WILL get clothes lined.)
Huge bundles of firewood 3-5 feet high
Huge sacks of charcoal

People


Notable things I've seen women carry on their heads:

Huge bundles of firewood
Obviously, massive buckets full of:
    Fish

A single flip flop
A single flip flop with a rock ontop 
A single bar of soap
Recently purchased veggies
A purse strap
The bag part of the purse
Coolers
A stack of bricks
School books
A water bottle
A large ax laying sideways 
A gardening hoe
