Description: Being offered is an exceedingly important rare 16th century figural Chinese pillow, green painted example molded into the shape of a reclining subject on a pillow, the headrest in the form of a lotus motif, floral motifs underneath the subject. Due to their scarcity, Chinese pillows have long been overlooked. Through extensive research, scholars now conclude that said pillows were a status symbol and often remained with the owners even in the afterlife. Solid terracotta, sublime glaze. Stan bought this pillow at a preeminent gallerist in Paris 25-30 years ago. Dimensions: 8 1/2" x 4" x 3". In excellent condition. (Stan is deaccessioning his collection of pillows. This is the finest example.) Satisfaction guaranteed. Please MAXIMIZE each photo to see and appreciate all details of item! Be sure to add laurenstanley to your favorites list!
