    Default The Rest???.

    Hi Tony,
    The Japanese are a clever bunch, & if it is a Head Rest for a Human & it could be for either, D / A.

    Geishas used to sleep with their heads resting on something similar so they didn't disturb their elaborate hairdos. I'm pretty sure they were traditionally carved from solid rather than folding items but it looks like it would do the job. This isn't pretty enough to be one though.

    Is it a folding stool for a doll, or a form of display stand?

    Looks good but even if you brand it Tontine, I don't think it will be a big seller.
