Superb hand carved from one piece of wood Makonde 4-legged
Geometric stool or table from Tanzania
Good condition, has old restoration.
Measures 17.25" H, 15.5"diameter
The Makonde value their stools, which are used for everyday.
They are very well known for their art, which
is usually complex in design and figurative. The stools are abstract carved and
enhanced by empty spaces,
the patterns and design express both the owner's gender and status in the tribal
community.
Thanks
