    A double head-rest carved out of one piece of wood. The crossbars are identical except that one is 5mm longer. Rectangular, curved and decorated on the flattened ends with a row of zigzags carved in relief. One lug each on outer sides. Closed arches facing sides. The lugs on the inner sides have become incorporated into the column. Three grooved pillars. Tow stretching diagonally from near the centre of the base to the outsides of the crossbars. The third pillar reaches vertically from the centre of the base to join an inverted open arch which links the two crossbars. The base is four flat circles in a row, joined by three rectangular bars. The two outer circles support open, front-facing arches.
