A striking looking miserichord. Remember, this is the underside of the seat. The narrow shelf at top is really the front edge of the seat, unless one lifts the seat up as pictured here. When monks spent long hours standing in prayer and song, the tired among them could rest ever so gently on the shelf without being admonished.
