Description

wood, brown patina, in openwork design: three rows of human heads, seat covered with animal skin, min. dam., fine cracks, slight traces of abrasion;
although the bands are seemingly sculptural devices to anchor the heads, they can also be interpreted as frog signs. The frog symbolizes fertility and is considered a good omen.
