A striking hand-carved wooden stool formed as a stylised standing human figure holding a circular seat above its head. The top features incised geometric and radial carving, while the body displays bold, simplified anatomical shaping typical of traditional tribal or ceremonial forms.
The timber shows deep natural patina, has cracks, age-related wear, and surface variation consistent with hand carving and long-term use or display. The piece functions equally well as a sculptural object, side table, or display stand, and carries strong visual impact from all angles.
Likely originating from Africa or a Pacific-influenced carving tradition, this piece is well suited to collectors of tribal art, ethnographic objects, or interior decorators seeking an authentic statement item.
