African stools were important everyday objects in tribal life and were often carried by an individual when he traveled, so he would always have a place to sit. Carved from a single piece of wood and revered for their sculptural beauty, these stools offer many practical purposes like extra seating or as a vehicle for displaying anything from beads, to plants, to small artifacts of any kind.
