due to the improper excavation and documentation of the find, precise statements about the archaeological context are not possible. the chair is the most magnificent decorated folding chair of the nordic bronze age. this type of chair, or their fittings is present in 17 comparable finds. the remains of two folding chair fittings originate from hoards, all the rest were grave goods from tree coffin or grave mound burials. given the role of the stool in placing the sitter above others who are seated on the floor, it is possible that the individual buried in daensen was a high-ranking person, a chieftain or religious official. the absence of further grave goods may indicate that the grave had been raided by antique grave robbers. comparably equipped graves with folding chairs typically included additional offerings such as weapons, jewellery, and household items, which are absent in daensen. the ribbed bronze arm bracelet provided by farmer eickhoff to the museum must come from a female burial, supporting the interpretation of the burial of a religious leader. similar folding chairs originate from ancient egypt, whose most famous specimen comes from tutankhamun's tomb of 1330 bc, demonstrating the extensive international connections of the later bronze age.
