Title: Need help identifying object. Maybe a swing?
Post by: Heinle94 on December 15, 2013, 11:08:14 AM

I'm thinking it is maybe a swing because of these things that swing and go all the way around.

I believe it is oriental based on the pictures on the top of it.

What do the under sides look like? I don't see where the swings would attach.

This looks to me as the seat of a Moroccan or Turkish small seat . Recent and sold mostly to tourists .

Gerspee is on the right track....this is the leather cushion from a camel saddle see pic.... camel on the right...ok this is a pic of a tourist item...but the full size is the same...as the pic of the one posted shows where the wooden peg at either end would protrude....
