This collection of porcelain pillows was donated to Guangzhou by Hong Kong industrialist Yeung Wing Tak & his wife. The collection of over 200 pillows ranges from Tang through Yuan Dynasties, with most of them made during the Song & Jin Dynasties. They are housed in the Museum of the King of Nanyue near Yuexiu Park, Guangzhou. Poor lighting & long exposure time left some of these images blurred. My apologies. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China. http://picasaweb.google.com/GaryLeeTodd/NanyueTombPorcelainPillowCollectionGuangzhou#
