EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a folding chair made of ash wood, dating back to the second half of 1400 BC during the Bronze Age. Discovered in the Guldhoj barrow in Southern Jutland, Denmark, this ancient piece is now housed at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.
The intricate carvings on this chair showcase the skilled craftsmanship of its time, with delicate details and fine lines that have been remarkably preserved over centuries. The use of bronze accents adds a touch of luxury to this functional furniture piece.
It's fascinating to think about the history behind this chair - who might have sat upon it, what ceremonies or rituals it may have been used for. Its presence in a burial mound suggests that it held significance beyond just being a practical item; perhaps it was meant to accompany its owner into the afterlife.
As we gaze upon this fragment from prehistoric times, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and how even everyday objects can hold deep cultural and historical meaning. This print serves as a window into an ancient world, inviting us to imagine life in Northern Europe during the Bronze Age.
