Antique Chinese Lacquer Pillow

Pillow is used as a support of the body at rest for comfort, therapy or decoration.

Chinese pillows were traditionally solid, though sometimes used with a softer fabric over them. Over many Chinese dynasties, pillows were made from a wide range of materials including bamboo, jade, porcelain, wood and bronze. The Chinese decorated their pillows by making them different shapes and painting pictures of animals, humans and plants on them.
