Important and Rare Igbo Prestige Stool
About the Item
This large, rare Igbo title stool from Nigeria displays a wonderful sculptural form.
The circular seat and base are connected by a series of beautifully curved supporting legs, which adjoin at the centre - meeting at the finely carved central column.
Finely engraved geometric designs, created through the interplay of 'negative' space and linear striations, decorate the underside of the seat and the upper surface of the base.
