Context:

While octagonal head rests were a common form during the Sung and Ch'in dynasties. This example is distinguished by the calligraphy, the characters of which are written with white slip, a relatively rare technique. The fronds forming the fourteen character poem are executed in brown slip with particularly elegant brushstrokes. The poetic inscription reads:

Spring drunkenness meets often with an overflow of flowers;

Autumn chants face at length the graceful beauty of the moon.
