Handmade stool, carved by the Ivory Coast Senufo Tribe out of a single block of wood. Crafted from a single piece of wood, these stools showcase organic carvings with smooth, grace ful edges that cascade forward and downward. The Senufo tribe holds regional acclaim for their exceptional musical abilities and masterful wood carving, creating sculptures, masks, and figurines. Within their subgroups, specialized artisans pass down their art and craftsmanship from one generation to the next. The journey to become an artisan spans around seven to eight years, starting with apprenticeship where trainees create objects unrelated to Senufo religion, culminating in an initiation process that grants them the ability to craft ritual objects. Please note that this vintage Senufo stool's allure lies in its imperfections, including chips, cracks, and minor breaks. These distinctive characteristics are not defects, but rather integral aspects that contribute to its unique beauty. Material: WoodDimensions: 10.75” H x 9.5” D Show more
