About the Item

Sculptural tribal chair from Ethiopia in the early 20th century. Made up of pieces of wood joined by archaic fasteners of the same wood and animal (probably goat) leather strips on the seat and backrest. Its use as a chair is good, but it is rather conceived as a sculpture or decorative piece. Very rare and unique.
