Superb hand-carved low stool crafted from a single piece of heavy solid wood by the Baga people of Guinea-Bissau. While stools represent a minor art form for the Baga—whose monumental masks and serpent figures rank among Africa's most impressive sculptures. In excellent condition shows wear and minor loss, solid and structurally sound, it stands as a compelling addition to any collection of African art. The organic form and weight of the wood create an impressive presence in person. 12.5" H × 11" Diameter
