Ancient African Ashanti Stool in solid black wood - Ghana

Authentic traditional stool (throne seat) originating from Ashanti culture in Ghana. It is a monoxyle piece, entirely hand-carved from a single block of solid wood. This iconic model is distinguished by its crescent-shaped curved seat and its richly carved central structure, adorned with geometric patterns of diamond points and open triangles. The base is excavated from underneath, a traditional technique that lightens the piece of raw wood. It has a beautiful original matte black patina with slight natural lightening in areas on the edges that testify to its history. A superb sculptural piece, ideal for contemporary interior decoration as a sofa end, small side table, or stool in a brutalist and wabi-sabi style.
