Stool

This small stool with a rectangular, slightly concave seat has been carved from a single piece of wood. It depicts a tortoise as an abstract animal motif. The collector Theodor Koch-Grünberg drew a picture of the stool for an exhibition, which shows two round features on either side of the short end of the seat. This probably suggests that one of these has broken off on one side.
