It seems to me to show the influence of South American figurative pottery (Shipibo pottery comes to mind)

Primitive Old Wooden Stool with Iron Handle seascape pyrograph meaning one can turn itThis one is a bit of a mystery to me, which is part of why I like it. I'd think that the iron "handle" at one end with serrated edge around its flat, nearly round end served a specific purpose. perhaps allowing a small vise or clamp of some sort to attach to it in order to do some sort of work? Or, maybe it was just a make do solution to making the stool easier to move from one place to another? I don't know (through would love to know, if you do!)
