About the Item
Made of Chinese northern elmwood, this smooth block of wood was once used as a rigid headrest or neck pillow. The soft curve and height of the block not only supported the head while sleeping, it also helped to hold the body in good posture and preserve intricate hairstyles. Rustic and conversation-sparking, the headrest displays well on a bookcase, desk or side table.
