AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bozo

In African art the Bozos are known for their pieces with bright colors.

This stool is no exception.

Its seat is decorated with geometric motifs, resting on a caryatid base that represents an antelope.

The Bozos are a people who today 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 reeds, or even create them partially by draining the banks of an islet. Forced to settle under the reign of Cheikhou Amadou (1810-1844), they remain nomads and return to their thatched huts for a few months of fishing
