Bamileke Figurative Round Stool
About the Item
Marked by the telltale Bamileke rounded disc seat and base, this stool features a group of pondering human figures as its vertical supports instead of the more common abstract carvings. Created from a single tree trunk, the stool serves dual purposes as both a seat and a wonderfully sculptural decorative object. The smoothed top is characterized by years of use. Under light, the openings in the carvings reveal exciting shadows and negative space.
