Back posts are turned - with 3 alternating elongated sausages and flattened balls - topped with a turnip and button finial. It is the disks that have remnants of gold metallic paint. There are four triangular-shaped back splats of graduated size, the largest on top. They are straight across the bottom and taper up toward the center on top. They appear to be hand hewn and vary in size. The back legs are round and straight and appear to be from the same piece as the posts. The front legs are wider apart than the rear and are turned - with an alternating elongated sausage (2) and flattened ball (2) design - and a flat bell shaped foot. Because the seat is wider across the front (18") than the rear (15") the front legs are wider apart than the rear. There are double straight and round stretchers on the L and R side, and a single in the rear. The front stretchers of the DL and R side, and a single in the rear. The front stretchers are also double but are turned and form 7 sausage-like links: on the top row the decorative black and gold paint alternates; the lower row has 2 black links at either end and the center 3 are gold-black-gold. The sausage pieces at each end of the stretcher taper slightly to mortise into the front legs. There are nails (wood?) for additional support to secure the back posts and stretchers.com.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@414https://collection.folkartmuseum.org/objects/368/rdf
