Description: 12 inches long, 5 inches across, 6 inches tall. Also comes with a wooden stand. The stand has marks on it but it didn’t originally come with the buddha figure (I purchased separately). Stand is 15x11x1.5 inches What have now become a quaint addition to an Asian or Chinoiserie home decor aesthetic, Opium pillow. The history of these pillows can be traced back to centuries. Not only were they used for a functional purpose they served several roles. Opium dens were dimly lit, and users often felt drowsy after smoking opium. The ceramic pillows provided a cool and comfortable surface for their heads. Many ceramic pillows were hollow, allowing people to store valuables inside. Users would place their precious items within the pillow, securing them against a wall, and then rest their heads on the cool surface. Chinese craftsmen adorned these pillows with culturally significant symbols, poetry, and intricate designs. Some featured motifs from China’s earliest dynasties. The exterior of ceramic pillows felt cool to the touch, providing refreshment in hot and humid climates.
