Hand Carved Wood Senufo Multipurpose Bench in Light Brown
About the Item
This Senufo Multipurpose bench was hand carved from acacia wood to serve a variety of functions - use it today in your living room as a low to the ground coffee or even dining table, as a daybed or bench, or place it at the foot of your bed to store quilts and coverlets.
Today, most utilize this piece as an incredibly historic low to the ground table, but we were astonished to learn that this work was used for everything ranging from a bed, to a table, to even ceremonial events for the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. Furniture was extremely rare, and most often reserved for the elders of the tribe, so a piece this big would have served every function imaginable – both quotidian and sacred. The acacia wood (carved from a single tree trunk, no less!) has been smoothed out by its constant use.
This distinguished work is fit for many functions. Make it the epicenter of conversation in your living room like it was the mainstay of furniture for the Senufo people.
