My guess is it is mislabeled. Generally a 26 cm block would be enough
to support setu bandha. I have a dim memory of seeing a pair of these
for doing headstand. One lays a blanket over the curved support on the
top and rest their shoulders in the groove. The head hangs freely.

Sort of like this:

Thank you stu...
but I don't think it's the same!!
I think that the setubandha T has a different well precise purpose than
your headstand...
but I don't know it!!!

ok....thank you

Suzy,

I don't speak French either, but I asked the seller anyway, in English.
I will let you know what I find out. Maybe they will come here to the
group and provide an answer. We'll see :-)

Suzy,

Here is the response from France:

Hi Jared.......thanks for your question. I myself do not practice yoga.
All the products I build are based on drawings of props used at the
Iyengar Institute in Pune India. I have had the same question regarding
the use of the Setu Bandha T from a customer in Italy and am currently
in the process of trying to get information on its usage. I will pass
on to you any information I get. Will be in touch again soon. regards
Alan

We're getting closer :-)

At a height of 56 cm, it seems too high to use in Setu Bandha, unless
you are a giant. I'm 181 cm, and I just tried using a 43 cm high chair
as a support under the buttocks and thighs, and even that was too high
for me. Most uncomfortable, it actually hindered the asana.

Personally, I simply would not bid on an item that I don't know the
purpose or use for.
