A Mysterious Brass Stool

When I first found this stool I found a similar one on eBay and they claimed it was a stool from Iran and had been used for watching camel races. Supposedly you put burning embers inside the top part and then when you sat on it it gave a warm seat. The story was that someone who had worked in the Embassy there was given the stool by some high up in the government a few years ago. When my tremendous intelligence I didn't keep a copy of the information or picture to be able to compare it to my find. I'm looking for information.
I have been told some of the soldiers returning from Iraq have photoes of a similar stool in pictures.

What do you think the real story is?

This stool has the patina of used brass and a rattle like there had been embers within the seat. It does not have an easy on/off top to put the burning embers in to the base.

What do you thing the story is? Is it a stool for camel races or just to put your bum on?

    Didn't see any stools on the ground but the camel saddles looked to be brass. Could it be the center section or the saddle??? WOuld it work for a Milk Stool??
