A wonderfully simple sculptural wood stool with a crescent curved seat are a symbol of nobility among the Senufo people. Senufo stools like this are carved from single blocks of wood with a thick, rounded edge seat on four round, short, tapering legs in the traditional manner. These are are wonderfully simple sculptural forms. The form of this stool is characteristic, and of a type that is made to the present day. What makes this stool exceptional is its extraordinary wear and evidence of very long use within the culture. These stools, like family heirlooms in western cultures, become more treasured in Africa as they age and acquire memories of the ancestors who have used them. These large stools could be used as washstands in a Senufo household.  A wonderful addition to any collection of home.
