Luba AAA334 stool

A sacred decoration from Luba culture

The Luba AAA334 royal stool dates from the mid-20th century and comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Luba culture, this type of piece, despite its functional design, was not used as a seat. Instead, it was kept in royal palaces as a sacred decoration. Versmissen offers this example in natural wood, associated with the cultural richness and spirituality of the Luba people.

Luba royal stools may feature an abstract or figurative design. Some incorporate female caryatids that express a view of the female body as spiritual protection supporting divine royalty. The AAA334 model comes in a natural beige colour and measures 25,5 x 27 x 43 cm. Its stool-like form is therefore accompanied by a symbolic and decorative role deeply rooted in its cultural context.
