Zhazhenmu is also known as jiajingmu in Southern China, and is associated with the mulberry species. Its attractive colour and figure, and durable nature make it suitable to a variety of forms. One distinct feature of the present footrest is the combination of massage rollers and latticework, which is particularly pleasing. A variation of this can be seen on a huanghuali massage stool and footrest illustrated by Grace Wu Bruce in Chan Chair and Qin Bench: The Dr. S.Y. Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture II, Hong Kong, 1998, pp. 84-5, no. 13.
