In Africa a persons most admired virtue or exalted tribal status is often represented by the gift given stool he owns. The Ashanti of Ghana take this sentiment a step further. They transform famed Ashanti social maxims and spiritual ideologies into tangible symbols and incorporate them into the frameworks of their "adwas" or stools. Some noted common examples are the Gyenyame, Sankfo and Nyansapo motifs that decorate Ashanti seating. The seat on display is created for a great leader of men. "One who is beloved by his people thus gaining their support. He is only lifted as high as his people can lift him." Boldly carved from a native hard wood this seat has been left in a rare natural state showing off an attractive wood grain and deep "mothers cradle". Please click photo for enlargement!
