This authentic bronze stool originates from the Tikar people of Cameroon in Central Africa?s Grasslands, renowned for their use of the lost-wax casting method. This centuries-old technique involves crafting a precise wax model, encasing it in clay, removing the wax, and casting the piece in bronze. The stool features four tribesmen supporting the seat and a symbolic sun at the center. Such stools are traditionally reserved for kings, chiefs, or royalty. The central sun symbolizes the king?s role as the community?s pillar, providing light, order, and sustenance. The stool measures 13" x 13" x 16".
