Luba AAA349 stool

A carved piece from the Luba tradition

Originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luba AAA349 stool dates from the mid-20th century. This carved wooden piece belongs to the cultural tradition of the Luba tribe. Far more than a seat in its original context, it is described as a powerful symbol of power and as a sacred vessel intended for the chief’s spirit. Versmissen offers this example in a natural colour.

The wood and natural beige shade give the piece an understated presence, allowing its carved form and significance to stand out. The model measures 43,5 x 34 x 54 cm, proportions that reinforce its vertical character. Bearing a history linked to authority in Luba culture, this stool is a decorative object whose appeal lies as much in its appearance as in its symbolic significance.
