Item Details

Description

Help us help those in need this holiday season! Artemis Gallery is donating 100% of the Buyerâ€™s Premium from all lots sold in this auction to COMMUNITY FOOD SHARE. Each $1.00 donated = 3 meals!

West Africa, Burkina Faso, Lobi peoples, ca. early 20th century. Skillfully carved from a single piece of hard wood with a deep, lustrous dark brown patina, a zoomorphic stool presenting an animal with a long, curved neck, a knobby head, two conical front legs, a third leg that appears to be bent behind or have a foot, and a tail that extends beyond the legs. Three legs indicate that this stool was intended for a man to lounge upon during the cool evenings when the sun has gone down. (In contrast, Lobi stools for women traditionally have four legs.) Size: 27" L x 5.3" W x 13" H (68.6 cm x 13.5 cm x 33 cm)
