African Stool , Ashanti, Ghana
About the Item
Stool has its roots in the Ashanti culture of Ghana. It is highly regarded as a universal symbol of power, achievement, and authority.
The intricate carvings and motifs etched into the surface and edges of the stool represent the notable accomplishments of its owner. This remarkable item holds great cultural significance and is a testament to the revered craftsmanship and cultural traditions of the Ashanti people.
The Ashanti stool is traditionally carved from a single block of wood. Skilled woodcarvers carefully select a large piece of dense and durable hardwood, such as African mahogany, and then carve the entire stool from that single block.
It is not merely a physical object but a symbol of the Ashanti nation and its achievements. The stool is believed to house the spirit of the Ashanti people and serves as a repository of their history, values, and traditions.
