African Burkina Faso Low Stool of the Lobi Tribe/20th Century/Unique Chair
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a stool used by the Lobi tribe in a country called Burkina Faso in Africa.
It's around the 20th century.
The wood appears to be teak.
I have heard that this is made by carving into such a shape using tree branches and roots.
It was used in real life, so it has a lot of flavor.
The part that was touched by hand is glossy.
Especially long legs.
It is in very good condition with no major flaws.
It's a very primitive and beautiful tool.
This kind of thing is still a design unique to Africa.
Seat size is W 30.7cm/D 19cm
Also, the seat is not horizontal, so it is slightly slanted.
I think it's just the right item to sit on lightly.
It is a stool with a very strong presence that can create the atmosphere of the space.
This was owned by a Japanese collector...
