This stool show 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.
