Each of the motifs is associated with a distinct meaning associated with the traits the animal displays in nature, which attributes them to the stool’s occupant. The leopard, for example, is known to be cunning, fast, mobile and guardedly aggressive. It signifies the ability to survive and is the most important royal icon, often considered the king's alter ego. The spider, often found on more abstract stools, is a symbol of wisdom. A stunning piece. See less
