Traditional Ashanti stool from Ghana that was carved from a single piece of wood. These are architectural in nature with a crescent-shaped seat, a flat base and intricately carved support structures that have symbolic meanings. The design of this stool is known as the "Ahema Dwa," symbolizing it was crafted for a Queen Mother with a barrel shaped carving serving as the central support.
