Lobi Stool, Burkina Faso

H: 17 cm (6,7″), L: 35 cm (13,8″)

Wood, shiny brown patina

This fine three-legged stool with a rectangular carved seat has a dark and warm glow and was a real prestige for the owner.

Every initiated Lobi man owned such a stool; when they went on a journey they carried the stool with them across the shoulder. In cases of emergency it could also be used as weapon.
