Bamileke Spider stool

This traditional Cameroonian stool, measuring 54x55x47 cm, is carved from a single block of natural wood. Its design is inspired by the terrestrial spider, a symbol of wisdom in Cameroon's grassland culture due to its connection with the underworld and ancestors. The complex pattern that adorns its base evokes a spider's web, reflecting the skill and finesse of local craftsmanship. This unique piece of furniture from the middle of the 20th century is not only a functional object but also a cultural and spiritual lucky charm.
