It was designed to provide the mother with a comfortable position for the birthing process and embellished with the carving of an alligator on the back to bring protection and good luck. They are no longer used in birthing settings, so now they provide a beautiful handmade statement piece and unique seating. (The piece has two separate parts, with the seat slotting into the back.)
