Folding stools, such as the present example, were constructed as a practical alternative for seating when travelling or hunting. Light in weight and easily folded, they can be carried over the shoulder and were therefore a popular seat for rulers and dignitaries when travelling. A Ming dynasty 16th century woodblock illustration of Qiu Hua Lienu Zhaun (The Stories of Upright Woman) depicts a servant carrying a similar folding stool while accompanying a rider on horseback.
