ASANTE (ASHANTI), CEREMONIAL STOOL NO. 35, 16.5x25", $450, SOLD
Stools indicate status, power and succession of chiefs and kings. Carved from single blocks, Asante (or Ashanti) stools traditionally have crescent-shaped seats, flat bases and complex support structures, which exist in many designs with symbolic meaning.
This design, known as a Ahema Dwa, designates this as a queen mother's stool.
