Description

Wooden headrest. The pillow is supported by an extension of the flap lugs to the bilobal base, with two shallow hoop arches linked by two cylindrical legs. The edges of the two side pieces and the lower ends are decorated with lozenges and zig-zag
lines against a recessed background and diagonally-hatched triangles. There is some pokerwork contrast.
