About this piece
Leather the color of tea, a frame the color of earth.
Oromo makers of Ethiopia, East Africa, made this cowhide chair with a wooden frame in the late 19th or early 20th century. Such hide chairs are commonly associated with domestic seating in the region. The back and seat are reddish-brown hide, laced at the edges and rising to two upright points. The rough wooden legs splay slightly outward. The seat sags into a soft hollow, and a few small pegs show where the hide meets the wood.
About 34 inches high. Comfort is optional. Presence is built in.
