Description
Early 20th Century carved African Ashanti Asante stool originating from Ghana carved from indigenous wood. The cultural significance of the Ashanti stool in Ghana reflects a deep connection between material objects and spiritual beliefs. The idea that the stool is the seat to the owner’s soul adds a profound dimension to its importance. The dual role of Asante stools as both utilitarian items and sacred objects in rites of passage highlights their multifaceted significance within the culture. The belief that the stool carries the owner's spirit adds a profound layer to its sacredness, and the custom of placing it on its side when not in use underscores the importance of preventing others' spirits from settling on it. Item show evidence of use which adds to its character and uniqueness
