Chin rest belongs to funeral supplies and has a variety of textures, including gold, silver, tin, cotton, feather, and silken cloth, etc. It usually surrounds the head and back of the chin, and ties a knot in the vertex so as to fix the face of the dead and help him keep his shape. The chin rest may derive from ancient Greek, which had been found in tombs of the Homer period. In China, the chin rest first appeared in Xinjiang province in the 10th-8th century B.C., and then was introduced into inland of China in Northern Wei Dynasty. The unearthed relics are scattered over many places, including Xinjiang, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi, and its prevalence in China has a close relation to the Silk Road and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
