The low circular seat rests on an outswept tripod base terminating in substantial square feet, giving the chair an architectural presence from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe combination of the openwork back, broad round seat, and three-legged construction recalls traditional East African seating forms, particularly examples associated with Ethiopia, though without further provenance I would keep the attribution simply African. Related Ethiopian chairs are often carved from a single block of wood and combine geometric openwork backs with circular seats and tripod supports.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautiful piece of functional sculpture with the irregularities and character of hand craftsmanship.
