MONDAY Holiday week.

What Am I describing?

Used a round seat of 24 to 27 inches diameter, � were approximately 24 inches in length and (a portion) was canted forward slightly. It was 18 to 24 inches high with three prongs at about forty five degrees to each other the prongs were five to seven inches long. The back of the was 18 to 24 inches high with an arched shape and sometimes with a spire or prong. Metal reinforcing plates were common. (It) is covered in tanned leather with red and black geometric patterns. Additional decoration often consisted of light green leather stitched in or tinned or brass metal work. In very ornate examples the prongs � and back might be sheathed in brass.

This a classy Mongolian milking stool. Mongolians milked their horses and fermented it to make a strong alcholic drink. This device complemented the elaborate saddles for riding.

Re: MONDAY answer

John gets a Christmas star. In keeping with the holiday season, my idea was that the answer is a camel saddle. Examples of the saddle described can be found at www.allcamels.com. Or look up Taureg. My intent was to link my definition to camels and from there to the Three Wise Men. However the Wise Men came from the East which was likely Iran or Iraq (Persia). The saddle I described comes from Africa which would mean that it had to travel east. It would be difficult for my logic to be more wrong. Since posting the question I also found out that the camel originated in North America and moved west to the East via the land bridge through what is now Russia, then evolved to present form, and moved west and South. It is fact my geography here today is as bad as Ms. Palins. Anyway for a picture of the saddle described, check the saddle museum page at the above site. I can�t get a picture up. Happy holidays to all. Congrats John!
