Made out of dexterous lengths of sliced bamboo this headrest enabled contour comfort—quite luxurious for 19th-century China. Lightweight and low-profile, it was the perfect accessory for a high class young woman to travel in comfort. It is an unexpected sculptural object today and a fantastic beginning or addition to your collection.
