Tabouret Luba AAA106

A chief's stool with an anthropomorphic support

This traditional Luba chief's stool originates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and dates from the mid-20th century. Its wooden structure depicts a seated human figure with raised arms and hands supporting the upper platform. Listed by Versmissen under reference AAA106, it has a brown color and measures 35 x 35,5 x 48,5 cm.

The carved figure forms the central support between the base and the seat. Its posture, with arms raised above the head, gives the piece a clearly structured vertical composition. The base is described as wide and stable. These elements indicate the importance of the object, which was used by leaders or high-ranking individuals within Luba society. The stool therefore combines a seating function, figurative sculpture, and cultural significance.
