Antique Chinese lacquered headrest or "opium" pillow. These were traditionally used by wealthy individuals while sleeping to support the neck and preserve elaborate hairstyles, with the pliable hide and lacquer conforming to the user over time.
It is typically constructed of lacquered hide (like cowhide) over a bamboo or wooden frame.
The headrest features a cinnabar red lacquer finish with black lacquered ends. There is hand-painted black detailing within a bordered cartouche on the main surface, possibly depicting a landscape or calligraphy. The ends are painted with gilt Chinese characters, which translate to "Strive to make the country prosperous and powerful" and "Nanping City Pillow Society" and "Self-Reliance".
