Description from the seller
Stools > Bozo Stool
Bozo Stool
In African art, the Bozos are renowned for their pieces in bright colors.
This stool is no exception. Its seat is decorated with geometric motifs, resting on a caryatid base that represents a man, probably Mami Wata.
The Bozos are a people who still 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 partially create them by draining the banks of an islet.
Forced to settle during the reign of Cheikhou Amadou (1810–1844), they remain nomadic and return to their shacks for a few months of fishing after the rainy season.
