Traveling Man Treasures is selling this beautiful 1950s hand carved wooden stool created by the Dogon people of Mali.
Wooden stools serve the Dogon people for everyday use. This stool is supported by Ancestor Figures or nommo.

This is a a very unique stool that would be a wonderful addition to your collection or home.
