Additional Details:
I have not found any record of sale for Princess Muthotep, especially in regards to the quality and rarity having open hands.
I inherited this chair from my great-grandmother. The embroidered seat was repaired (before my cat got to it). I'm not sure if this is antique, vintage, or "sentimental value."
