The position that the owner held in the kingdom, village and family often dictated the type of seat that he was allowed to possess. Beaded chairs and thrones were considered part of royal paraphernalia and were commissioned for use only by members of the royal court namely the king and queen. Keeping in step with tradition only the motifs of royal court animals like lions, elephants and other symbols of royalty were able to grace these chairs. As restrictions eased other beautiful articles were allowed." EFTA00771926
