The longest stool with incised geometric decoration.
Longest: 6 1/4 x 36 1/2 x 5 1/8 in.
Note: It is noted in Marc Ginzberg, African Forms, Skira, 2000, pages 16-18, that the three legged stools from this area were used only by men. Stools of this shape were used ritually and in the evenings to smoke and talk.
