It was brought from Africa in 1960s.
Sturdy, stable.
The back of the chair contains patterns of rhinoceros and elephant.
African birthing chairs have no single country of origin but are associated with various cultures across the continent, particularly in West Africa (like Nigeria and Ghana) and Cameroon, with examples also originating from Mali, the Congo, and Ghana. These low, carved wooden chairs were designed to facilitate the upright birthing position and are considered cherished family heirlooms.
Please note it’s a birth chair, so it’s a small chair, not the same size as the dining chair.
