Descrizione : West Africa, Burkina Faso, Mossi people, ca. early 20th century CE. A charming, hand-carved wooden stool of abstract anthropomorphic form. The back of the figure is the broad, nearly flat surface of the stool, while the legs are meant to be the hands and legs of a person crawling on all fours. The handle is a protruding head with a long neck and angular, crested headdress. Stools were a popular piece of political regalia throughout West Africa, with the Asante being best known for them in the western art world, but many other cultures also creating them. They indicated the status of their owner. Size: 13.85 L x 5.5 W x 6.25 H (35.2 cm x 14 cm x 15.9 cm) For the type see Man and his Vision, The Traditional Wood Sculpture of Burkina Faso by Esther A.
