A traditional Asante (or Ashanti) stool hand-carved from a single piece of wood, originating from Ghana. This iconic form has deep cultural significance—historically reserved for royalty and revered elders, the stool represents power, unity, and spiritual presence.
Characterized by its curved seat, crescent-shaped cutouts, and block-style base, the design is both sculptural and symbolic. Use it as a low side table, a functional seat, or a striking decorative object.
Materials: Hand-carved hardwood
Origin: Ghana
Dimensions: Approx. 18" W x 9" D x 11" H
This piece reflects the craftsmanship and storytelling of West African artisans, with natural wood grain, patina, and age-related marks that honor its heritage.
