Lobi ethnic stool. Burkina faso. West africa. S.XX
The stools of 3 legs are characteristic of the Lobi people. It is used exclusively by men since this three-legged design allowed them to easily carry it hanging on the shoulder when they moved..
The stools of 4 legs were reserved for women.
The stool is carved from a single piece of very solid wood and retains the simple and abstract forms of Lobi art..
Despite its simple lines and its height (barely lifts 20cm from the ground to the base of the seat) it is surprisingly comfortable when the ideal posture is found. We imagine long nights around the fire in this kind of seat.
The curiosity of this seat is that it can also be laid down and used as a headrest..
It is in perfect condition with obvious signs of use and a smooth shiny patina from use..
