Antique wooden carved chair

I got this chair when I was out "treasure hunting" with my daughter. I saw it and just had to have it. I think it may be African?? There are no markings on it and it looks like it's all one piece. The wood is unlike anything I've seen here in Alaska and I am by no means an antique expert. I just like collecting weird things. Any info or story about the chair would be greatly appreciated. I just love it!!!
