Most Nupe are Muslim and their art is therefore abstract, with only some stylized animals in relief on their doors and some pots. The stools come in many forms yet are all carved from single blocks of wood. All share a richly carved top surface.
NOT: This stool has eight original legs and two that have been replaced
(carved differently). There is some wood loss on the design on the top surface, and residue of white and ochre paint that once decorated the top.
