Shadow puppet of the chair in the Jung Yuo Temple shadow puppet. Made of paper which has been cut and painted to depict the chair shaped like a large tiger, with front limbs and head crouched down. The seat rests upon its head, and the tiger's back and pronounced spine create the seat back. The tiger's face and paws rest above a red and blue step with carvings on the front. The side of the chair is red with '20' painted in the corner.
