Luba AAA827 stool

The royal Luba stools, while functional, serve more as sacred decorations preserved in royal palaces than as seats. Their design, whether abstract or figurative, sometimes incorporates feminine caryatids, expressing the Luba vision of the female body as a spiritual cover supporting divine royalty. Measuring 23x24x40 cm and made entirely of natural wood, this mid-20th century stool embodies the rich cultural tradition of the Luba people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
