Stool for women

The head carved horizontally on the stool, with oval-shaped facial features, is casting its eyes downwards. The small lumps on the head and neck represent locks of hair. The legs of the stool have been sawn short, perhaps to enable transportation. They were originally at least a third longer. Author: Michael Schönhuth
