BAMILEKE
STOOL 22
14.5" high
$500
SOLD
Cameroon
This stool shows some evidence of use and age.
The abstracted spider pattern of this stool is the most recognizable of Bamileke stool motifs. The spider, being clever enough to built a beautiful trap, is admired for her wisdom. Spending some time underground, she is also thought to be a messenger between the living world and the world of the ancestors.
