Description
Chinese ceramic pottery pillow, likely Qing dynasty modeled after a crouching child figure holding an offering bowl. Measuring approx 7" tall x 10.5" wide. Ceramic pillows in China were first produced during the Tang dynasty (618–907). They became a popular domestic item among middle- and upper-class families during the Song dynasty. Ceramic pillows were used not only by the living but for burial as well. In physical qualities, a Chinese ceramic pillow is certainly dissimilar to its equivalent in the West. Perhaps they were used to encourage a better sleeping position for the body, or to maintain the highly complex hairstyles worn by women during the Ming dynasty.
