In the heat of summer, people of the Han Dynasty, around 1,800 years ago or more, turned to jade pillows.
This jade pillow – named "Painted Jade Pillow with Bird, Beast and Cloud Design" – is made from inlaid jade panels and painted with gold patterns of clouds and birds. The pillow was not just decorative: Jade was believed to feel cool to touch and promote restful sleep, making it a practical choice for warm nights.
