Description from the seller
This ancient Senoufo stool was carved from a single block of wood; it is a centerpiece of northern Ivory Coast traditional craftsmanship. Minimalist yet full of meaning, it is both furniture and a work of art. Discover a fragment of history with this Senoufo stool, hand-carved in dense, ancient wood. A true tribal art object, it bears the marks of time and of traditional use. Each detail is unique: the texture, the irregularities, the patina—everything tells the hand of the artisan and the memory of a people. Ideal for a bohemian, wabi-sabi interior, or a private collection. Rooted in a long cultural tradition, this object was used by elders or initiates during ceremonies. Its simple form, its four sturdy feet, and its worn surface give it a unique presence in any contemporary space or private collection.
