Gold Pillow for golden dreams,the ultimate solution to sleeping problems?Probably not,as the Tang Dynasty Aristocracy first consideration was ostentatious and not comfort.
This Gold Pillow was fabricated from sheets of gold alloy and the six sides soldered together.The sides concave in to give added strength against distortion and also to accommodate the curvature of the head and neck during sleeping. The iconophobic design of flowers,twigs and leaves was completely chased out and the background is of small circles.
Practical or not, this Gold Pillow is a beautiful legacy from the Golden Age of Tang Dynasty of China.
