The precise ornamentation of objects from Teng-feng-hsien and Mi-hsien in Honan province often shows the influence of T'ang dynasty (618-907) metalwork. This particularly refined pillow has been meticulously stamped and incised to simulate the elegant, floral scrolls and ring-punch backgrounds of the Persian inspired designs popular in T'ang gold and silver utensils.
