African Tutsi Stool

Traditionally carved by the Tutsi people of Rwanda, this vintage stool is both a utilitarian object and a refined example of African sculptural design. Hand-carved from a single piece of wood, its minimalist hourglass form and gently curved seat speak to a deep heritage of craftsmanship and symbolic significance—often reserved for elders or ceremonial use.

The weathered patina and subtle imperfections honor the passage of time, transforming this stool into a striking accent piece full of history and quiet presence.
