Coins, weaponry, jewels and other valuables are often found in the ancient burials of prominent people, but archaeologists recently discovered a truly rare grave good: a metal folding chair.
"While it's too early after the excavation for us to know the identity of the woman," Fehr said,"we do know that she was of high social status, as evidenced by the grave goods found at the burial site."Although only the metal portion of the chair has survived, it's possible that it was built using other materials, such as wood and leather, he said. An X-ray of the chair could reveal additional details about its construction.
Because of the chairs' rarity and symbolism, researchers consider these grave goods"special gifts," according to a translated statement . Lastly, a large glass bead with a millefiori pattern, meaning it was speckled with different colors of glass that were fused together, helped archaeologists estimate the date of the burial.
