Una pareja de elementos de madera tallada procedentes de una silla de poste tradicional africana, originarios de África y fechados entre 1950 y 1960, con procedencia de una colección privada en Friburgo, Alemania, con dimensiones 62 cm de alto, 27 cm de ancho y 2,5 cm de grosor.
Descripción del vendedor
A pair of hand-carved wooden elements originating from an African peg chair (traditional detachable stool).
Each piece is carved from a single block of hardwood and decorated with symbolic animal motifs, including birds, a turtle, and reptilian forms. Such imagery reflects traditional African visual language, where animals often carry meanings related to protection, spirituality, and social identity.
The elongated lower sections indicate their original function as structural components of a peg chair, a portable seating form used in various African regions, sometimes associated with status and ceremonial use.
These pieces represent examples of traditional African wood carving and can be appreciated both as parts of a historical object and as sculptural works in their own right.
