This type of Asante, Ashanti style stool was often carved by Agni or Akye people from the South-East of Ivory Coast. In the past, only the Asante king was allowed to create new types of rectangular stools. The animal motifs, carved from royal prototypes, magnified the qualities of the animals represented, sometimes evoking proverbs, thus enhancing their owner. Light patina, missing (lower corner) and desiccation cracks. The Ashanti are one of the ethnic groups of Ghana, part of the Akan group, living in a region covered in forests. Like other populations living in the central and southern part of Ghana, they speak a language of the Twi group. This people consider women to be the final arbiter of all decisions. Fertility and children are the most frequent themes represented in Ashanti wooden sculptures.
