Lobi Stool

Lobi Stool

African art furniture, among the Lobi, this stool like other personal possessions was intimately linked to the spirit of its owner.

The use to which it was put, over the decades, served to reinforce these close ties; so that upon the death of its owner, the stool was placed on the family altar and served as an interface to communicate with the soul of the deceased.
