Description from the seller
Bozo Stool
Bozo Stool (
In African art the Bozos are known for their pieces in vivid colors.
This stool does not stray from the rule.
Its seat is decorated with geometric motifs, resting on a caryatid base that represents a tortoise and a calao hornbill.
The Bozo are a people who to this day remain semi-nomadic, moving their dwellings according to the seasons and the water level, upstream or downstream of the river for some families. They often live on temporary islands created by rushes, or even partially create them by drying up the shores of an islet. Forced to settle during the reign of Cheikhou Amadou (1810-1844), they remain nomads and continue to roam.
