A simple wooden Egyptian stool with a woven reed/plaited seat and four legs, photographed from a slightly elevated angle.
The object is a rectangular stool. The seat is made of tightly woven, light-brown reeds forming a herringbone/diagonal pattern across the top surface. The surrounding edges of the seat are bound with thicker reed or textile-like bindings, and the front edge shows a darker woven section. The legs are carved wooden uprights that taper slightly toward the feet; each leg has a rounded foot. The stool frame appears wooden throughout, with the seat support integrated into the top rail. No carved decoration, figures of deities, or legible inscriptions are visible in this image. The object is shown against a plain background with no readable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text.
