Description

Bed has solid top with a raised rim all around it. Carved pillow with half moon shape, above which are two crocodiles that surround it, nose to nose. Sides are made of twelve reptiles side by side holding up the top with their arms, which are linked to each others, tails curl towards each others and touching. Three carved gashes on their backs. The corner supports and bottom rails of the long sides are also decorated with reptile shapes, head to tail, carved just as lines, more simply than the three dimensional vertical supporting ones. Head and foot are open.
