Very low to allow women to be at the height of the fire to prepare meals, this stool has a solid curved rectangular seat, abraded by use. Supported by three legs, it offers a zoomorphic look thanks to the horse's head motif. Light golden patina, halo, old restoration of the head. Upper Volta, Burkina Faso since independence, is made up of the descendants of the invaders, horsemen who came from Ghana in the 15th century, named Nakomse, and the Tengabibisi, descendants natives. Political power is in the hands of the Nakomsé, who assert their power through statues, while the priests and religious leaders come from the Tengabisi, who use masks during their ceremonies. Animists, the Mossi worship a creator god named Wendé. Each individual would be endowed with a soul, sigha, linked to a totemic animal.
