This is a hand-carved, one-of-a-kind wooden stool by the Senufo people of West Africa, primarily in the Ivory Coast, Mali, and Burkina Faso. Characterized by organic, sculptural forms with smooth, often concave surfaces, they are carved from a single block of hardwood and feature intricate, symbolic designs representing Senufo culture and beliefs. These stools serve as a blend of cultural artifact and functional furniture, used for seating, as display pedestals, or as decorative accents in a variety of interior styles.
