Detail: Bed
This unique bed was considered comfortable since the purpose of this bed was so anyone who sleeps on it can have variations on any directions they would like to lie down. When I read this part, I couldn't really picture a person being comfortable in the bed, but a person whose back is aching. The frame on this bed was carved out of wood and layered with gold using the technique of gilding. Before I read anything about this bed, I was thinking, Isn't this just a chair with pillows? ......I guess I was wrong.
That is an interesting bed, since the person can have direction variations!

The bed looks really fancy. And I agree with you, Der; I can't picture a person being comfortable on the bed.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all let me just say I Love your blog it is sooo cute! I thought it was a chair just like you said. You must have had to squeeze into a small ball to have your whole body fit. The bed has a very shiny fabric which makes it look valuable.
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteThis bed is one of the more popular artifacts at the museum. almost every time I visit there is a tour guide talking about it. Would you believe that THIS is where you would receive your visitors? I would be quite uncomfortable to have ppl visit me while I was in bed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to small to be a bed. You'd have to be all scrunched up. It would hurt.
