Significance: The headrest was used by Ancient Egyptians to hold a persons' head when they are asleep. They were necessary in life, and in death, and some have even been found with the persons' name in it inscribed. Normally, they were made of wood, but a few occasional stone ones have been found. The headrest was so important to the Ancient Egyptians, that even in the tombs of poor people, people would find blocks of wood or stone under the persons' head as a makeshift headrest.
Headrests were found in tombs from the Old Kingdom (2613-2160 BC), and also in the Ptolemaic Period (332-32BC).
