Confessional

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden chair or throne with an ornately decorated back and top. The top is adorned with a large, semi-circular fan motif with painted designs in reds, blues, and earthy tones, embellished with a cross at its peak. The wooden structure comprises a natural wood color, with carved patterns on the side panel. The chair is positioned askew, allowing a view of both the front and the intricately carved side panel.
