Luba AAA1282 stool

The royal Luba stools, while functionally designed, never serve as seats, but rather as sacred decorations preserved in royal palaces. Their design may be abstract or figurative, with female caryatids expressing the Luba vision of the female body as spiritual protection supporting divine royalty. This unique 20th century piece, originally from DR Congo and the Luba tribe, measures 23x22.5x35
