Publius Posted November 17, 2017 at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 04:25 AM The X character is likely 號 (judging by context and the shape of the bottom right corner). Can't say anything about the others. Too worn-out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bURL Posted November 17, 2017 at 04:34 AM Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 04:34 AM here are the images 1.IMHO the hard cushion and the woven pine or rattan thread weaving have been made later after the double layer soft cushion was damage beyond repair which the original structure has left many holes seen on one side of the inner part of the stool (they have been filled during the modification, I think). 2.My staff has imitated the original weaving which you can see in the 1st image. thanx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
