I have owned it for about 40 years an elderly Tongan man in the neighborhood gave it to me and back then he said it was very old.As you see it has 3 legs screwed in with twine.The seat is leather and is lined with what looks like handmade tacks and has 3 hand carved handles.Two are arm rest and the other is a hinged back rest that folds down for maybe easy travel .the hinge also looks handmade.
