Which term denotes a bronze X-shaped folding stool?

• A. rush
• B. Sphinx
• C. Sella Curullis
• D. chests and baskets

Answer: (C)

The term describes a Roman folding chair that sits on an X-braced frame. In ancient Rome, the sella curulis (often just called the curule chair) was a symbol of magistrate authority and could be folded for portability. Its distinctive X-shaped legs allow it to collapse, which matches the idea of a folding stool in bronze. The other options refer to different things: rush is a seating material, a Sphinx is a statue, and chests and baskets are storage items, not a seat.
