A hand-carved Nupe stool from Nigeria, worked from a single piece of wood with intricate incised patterns. The Nupe live along the banks of the Niger River, and stools like this ar e traditionally used as prestige objects on market days and at important gatherings. Each is carved from a single, seamless block of indigenous hardwood — the geometric legs and incised surface patterns reflect a design language unique to the Nupe. Weathered by time and restored with care, this piece keeps its "perfect imperfections": a patina that speaks to years of communal use. A one-of-a-kind piece of functional art. Reminiscent of Senufo stools, but with patterns carved into the top. Finish: dark stain. Size: 66cm L × 50cm W × 47cm H Show more
