形 A similar Cizhou-type tiger-form pillow, but decorated with a swan
rather than a crane, is illustrated by Jiena Huo in Fire and Earth: Early
枕 Chinese Ceramics (3500 B.C. - 1400 A.D.) in the Museum of East Asian
Art, Cologne, 2008, p. 187, no. 147, where it is dated Jin dynasty,
12th century, the author notes the pillow is probably from Changzhi,
in Shanxi, where other pillows of this type have been found.
Animal-form pillows were believed to protect against evil and to
have helped women give birth to sons.
