A great classic of African art, the Ashanti stool is among the most sought-after stools for its design and originality!
In Africa, often, the way of sitting reveals a cultural system based on a very hierarchical stratification.
This superb seat, with a curved seat, is carved with four legs and an openwork central column.
It has a trace of old repair on one of the legs and a hole in the openwork central part (back)
However, it remains admirable thanks to its very beautiful honey-brown patina due to use and its harmonious proportions. Ghana: End of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century.
