DescriptionA child's potty chair made of board construction with double arched back. Two carved hearts decorate the back, one inside each arch. The sides are formed by boards which curve down from the back to form the arms. The rails are attached to the inside surfaces 2/3 of the way down the support seat. Convex curves in the bottom of the panels suggest legs. A hole through the center of the seat can be covered with a removable cloth covered seat.Exhibition History"Sitting in New Bedford" (NBWM, May 20, 2011 - January 7, 2013).On View
