Description
Three-legged stool carved from a single piece of wood, with a curved seat that is higher at the back and teminates in a protrusion reminiscent of a stylized animal head. A stylized trapezoidal protrusion on the front resembles an animal tail. A fibre cord is tied to the head and tail for a strap.
