c. 2000 bc |
-Middle Kingdom Headrest -This does not have a provenance, but looks strikingly similar to the headrest I am researching. |

c. 1900 bc |
-This 3-piece headrest measures 9 inches in length and 8.5 in height. -This is similar to my headrest in that it has 3 pieces, but the wood looks admittedly different. |

c. 1333 bc |
-King Tut Headrest -This ivory piece is more elaborate and made specifically for the royal tomb of King Tut. Such an extavagant piece out-does the plain, wooden headrest and even some of the alabaster pieces that are common of the headrests in general. |
