A stunning piece of African art, this antique tribal stool showcases intricate hand-carved figures of a man and a woman holding up the seat. The wax-finished seat provides a smooth and comfortable surface, while the detailed facial features reminiscent of Songye masks elevate this stool to a work of art. More than just a functional piece, this stool serves as a visual and physical connection to royal kingship. For the Songye people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the caryatid holding the seat high enshrines the ruler's status and unites him with his ancestors and spirits. Despite some wear and tear on the base, this antique stool remains a captivating and culturally significant piece that will be a treasured addition to any collection.
