Long description: Model wooden stool. It has a concave, rectangular seat, flat rectangular base, four square-sectioned pillars and a central column. The central column is rectangular at the base but bottlenecks before expanding slightly again at the seat. The outer faces of the pillars and central column have chip carved decoration on their lower halves, and the sides of the pillars have longitudinal bands of projecting triangles. There are two cut out crescents in the seat and two transverse grooves on the base, one either side of the rectangular platform on which the supports stand. [JC [OPS Move] 18/5/2017]
