This low, wooden chair, with its straight back, legs carved in the form of lion's legs, and mesh seat is characteristic of chairs used by men and women. The chair is held together with pegs and dowels; the angle braces are carved from forked branches. The central slat in the back and a few minor repairs are modern, and the mesh seat has been restored following indications provided by remnants.
