About the Item
Superbly crafted
Vintage chief's stool from the Asante people of Ghana. Raw natural finish. The Asante consider these beautiful hand carved wood traditional stools to be quite significant. These domestic stools originally belonged to a certain individual and were only used by that person. When an Akan person sits on their stool, it is believed to absorb something of their essence - a phenomenon which increases with every use. When not occupied, the stool is turned on its side so that malevolence cannot seat itself on it. Often carved for chiefs, but some stools were carved by men to be presented to their brides as a symbol of loyalty. Each is unique with signs of wear and use with original marks or chipped areas to be expected. Cc1960’s

Geometric Ashanti African Stool
Located in Chicago, IL
An indicator of status and family, stools play an integral role in traditional Ashanti culture. Believed to be the resting place for a person's soul, a stool is given to a child when they first learn to crawl and used in personal milestones throughout the rest of their life.
Carved from a solid block of wood, each stool has a rectangular base and a distinctive curved seat supported by a central column and four corner posts. While some ceremonial stools are carved to convey particular proverbs, this stool is simply decorated with scalloped edges, geometric patterns, and a small cross. The combination of shapes and curved lines makes this Ashanti stool...
