Amazing King Tutankhamun headrest.
- "This beautifully decorated headrest, which was then used instead of a pillow, is made out of elephant ivory. When in use, the back of the king's neck would rest on the curved piece of the headrest for support and comfort. The human-like figure holding up the curved support is supposed to represent Shu, the god of atmosphere, and the two lions on the left and right of Shu placed on the base represent the eastern and western horizons. In addition to being a very functional tool for sleeping comfort, the headrest has symbolic and ritual meanings too."
