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?
