Stool Luba
The unique item shown on the image is the exact item you will receive.
Despite their functional form royal stools are never used for sitting but rather are sacred decorations preserved within a king's palace. The design of Luba seats of leadership may either be abstract or figurative. Those incorporating female caryatids give expression to the Luba conception of the female body as a spiritual cover that supports divine kings.
