About the Item

Hand-carved from a single, solid block of wood, each Senufo stool communicates a unique personality as a sculptural seat or table. This example from the early 20th century resonates strength, spirit and clarity, sculpted with a simplicity of form that still feels modern despite its age. Years of use have imparted an incredible surface texture, the minimal form decorated only by a smooth patina, irregular chisel marks, and a network of fine crackling along the tapered legs.
