Description

This is a vintage (c. 1950s-1960s) Ashanti Stool, a traditional wooden stool/headrest from Ghana, Africa. They are significant in Ashanti culture, representing status, power, and succession. Carved from a single block of wood, they often feature a crescent-shaped seat, a flat base, and intricate support structures. Ashanti stools are believed to house the soul of their owner. They are not just furniture but sacred objects. DIMENSIONS: 13" L x 7.75" H x 5.75" W
