African Burkina Faso Low Stool of the Lobi Tribe/20th Century/Unique Chair

African Burkina Faso Low Stool of the Lobi Tribe/20th Century/Unique Chair

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is a stool used by the Lobi tribe in a country called Burkina Faso in Africa. It's around the 20th century. The wood appears to be teak. I have heard that this is made by carving into such a shape using tree branches and roots. It was used in real life, so it has a lot of flavor. The part that was touched by hand is glossy. Especially long legs. It is in very good condition with no major flaws. It's a very primitive and beautiful tool. This kind of thing is still a design unique to Africa. Seat size is W 30.7cm/D 19cm Also, the seat is not horizontal, so it is slightly slanted. I think it's just the right item to sit on lightly. It is a stool with a very strong presence that can create the atmosphere of the space. This was owned by a Japanese collector...
