Rare wood type (identification needed)

Struggling to identify this wood type (with no manufacturer mark) which has been recently added to the MIAT museum collection (Ghent, Belgium). I’ve been told that there is a possibility this wood type does not come from Western Europe or US. I recently found a similar example (but in metal) held in a private collection in Istanbul, Turkey, but unfortunately no name was mentioned:

Any tips are welcome.
Let me know if any additional images needed.
Thank you in advance.
