Crouching Tiger...


These two Chinese pillows were at an exhibit at the Museum for East Asian Art here in Cologne, and the tiger one really made me smile :-)
The top one is stoneware, 13.3 cm high by 38.1 cm long, and dates to the 12th century.
The second one is earthenware, 14 cm high by 29 cm long, and dates from the 12th - 13th century.
Both photos are from the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Köln copyright the Reinisches Bildarchiv Köln
