This authentic carved wooden stool, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo, embodies the rich artistic traditions of Central Africa. The stool features a robust human figure, possibly female, depicted in a kneeling posture with arms raised to support the circular seat. Crafted from solid wood, the piece displays a dark, heavily aged and weathered patina, with natural cracks and an unrefined finish that speaks to its considerable age and traditional craftsmanship. While sharing stylistic elements with renowned Luba caryatid stools, this particular example presents a more rustic aesthetic, highlighting its hand-hewn nature. Such figurative stools served not merely as furniture but as significant symbols of status, authority, or spiritual connection within various Congolese communities. This piece is ideal for collectors seeking a raw and historically resonant example of African ethnographic art.
