Vintage African Ceremonial Tribal Art Dogon Wood Stool with a Rich Brown Patina. Among the elements of traditional African furniture, seats play a role intended to enhance the prestige of those who possess them. Often intended for dignitaries, kings, chiefs and nobles, a seat marked the social rank of its owner and was not lent in any case.
Three angular legs support the center of this Dogon seat made of a very dense wood. The seat, polished by use, offers a satin brown patina. The Dogon are renowned for their cosmogony, esotericism, myths and legends. Their population is estimated at about 300,000 living southwest in the Mopti region of Mali. The villages are often perched on the side of hills, according to a unique architecture. As shown in the staged photograph, African art, such as this piece, will make a statement in any décor be it Mid-Century, Eclectic, Boho, Minimalism, Contemporary, Wabi Sabi or Coastal Modern Design.
