Cameroon: Old African Bamun stool.
Hand carved from a single piece of wood
Size: 38 cm height and 23 cm wide.
African wooden Bamun stools are among the pieces sought after for the beauty of the object, the sculptural work carried out on it, the quality of the wood, the quality of the patina, but for some also for their symbolism. Whether they are for daily use or reserved for religious ceremonies or everyday life such as weddings, or for resting during work in the fields or even intended for a certain segment of the population, they are real objects of art that have had a life and they have a patina of use that testifies to their long use.
With this monoxyl stool, i.e. cut from the mass of a tree trunk, not a single part is nailed or glued.
