Mukecha Stool/Table

About the Item

Jomo Tariku Mukecha Stool/Table, 2022 Ebonized and painted ash 15 x 13.5 x 13.5 in Edition of 18 Mukecha is inspired by traditional African mortars of varying sizes used for grinding barley, wheat and other staple crops. Carved from locally available sturdy wood, the heavy mortar and pestle is used to prepare flour through a time consuming, and back breaking process. Typically accompanied by synchronizing singing, the women of the community carry the burden of this work. The Mukecha is decorated with concentric orange rings alluding to the neck rings adorning bronze busts from The Kingdom of Benin.
