拍品資料及來源
本品模製雙獅之形，前爪並排，瞪目伏臥，凹凸利落傳神。托頭隨形而製，上不承枕面。北宋以降，始現獅形瓷枕。以獸形入枕，一般相信有平安、鎮宅之效。獅式枕，宋金時代盛行，多個窰口皆有燒製，然翻尋著錄，卻未發現與此相近之磁州窰白釉雙獅枕例，可證此器極為罕見、絕無僅有。
相類磁州窰白釉瓷枕，作單臥獅式者，卻有數例，如河北省磁縣觀台窰址出土模製素胎伏臥單獅枕，與本品相類，不附枕面改以獅脊鞍鞽為托頭，長15.6公分，載於《觀台磁州窰址》，北京，1997年，頁350，圖151-1，以及圖版86-4左。東京國立博物館藏北宋磁州窰白地褐彩點晴單獅枕，乃横河民輔氏寄贈，也不設枕面，曾展於《特別展白と黑の競演：中國．磁州窯系陶器の世界》，大阪市立美術館，大阪，2002年，編號9。
相類宋代雙獅式瓷枕，也有不同窰口、釉飾之例，如楊永德伉儷舊藏北宋河北定窰黑釉雙獅枕，具枕面，下承二獅戲球，長18.4公分，現存廣州西漢南越王墓博物館，載於《楊永德伉儷捐贈藏枕》，上述出處，編號185，或雲南省博物館藏宋代三彩雙獅枕，枕面呈長方狀，長22.2公分，見於王永勝，〈三彩雙獅花卉瓷枕〉，《中國文物報》，1996年9月29日。
