Description

This is a small handmade stool believed to have been owned by John James Audubon. It has three legs of cow or bovine horns nailed to a circular piece of thick wood. The underside of the stools appears to have been fully covered with cloth at one time. Most of the cloth is gone with remnants between the horns and wood. The top of the stool is covered in dark green velvet. The material is nailed around the sides of the wood.
