The Taíno Ritual Seat is a Pre-Columbian wooden seat made in the form of a man on all fours. It was made by the Taino people and found in a cave near the city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.〔 The seat was made before Christopher Columbus landed in the Caribbean and is an important remnant of the Taino culture and civilisation that existed before the arrival of Europeans. ==Description== The seat is made from the dense hardwood called Lignum vitae. In this case the Lignum vitae is from the ''Guaiacum officinale'' tree.〔(Taino ritual seat ), British Museum, accessed 6 October 2010〕 This tree's flowers are the national flower of Jamaica. The small chair is made in the form of a man on all fours. The head is decorated with gold and the figure is carved with male genitals underneath.〔British Museum Collection ()〕
