Daensen folding chair, Bronze Age archaeological find in Buxtehude, Germany
The Daensen folding chair contains metallic components with bronze knobs and gold decorations, discovered within a stone circle inside a tumulus.
The excavation of this Nordic Bronze Age artifact occurred in 1899 when workers extracted sand from the Backelsberg mound near Daensen village.
The chair's intricate metalwork and gold ornaments indicate it belonged to a person of high social status, possibly a woman with religious duties.
The Archaeological Museum Hamburg preserves the metal fittings and displays a reconstruction based on similar chairs found in Denmark.
This folding chair represents the southernmost discovery among eighteen known Nordic Bronze Age chairs, dating from approximately 1400 BC.
