Click Thumbnails for Larger Images AFTER Page FULLY Loads
The extremely well executed baboon stool was rediscovered in a South African colonial context.
This fine artwork likely dates to the 1950's.
The stool has old and stabilized insect damage to either side. The damage does not detract from the object, which in our view depicts what must be the most artistically carved baboon known from the area.
Related Mbunda stools were discovered west / north west "upstream" on the Zambezi.

The legs of this stool have a powerful Ngoni - Zulu feel. It is not impossible that it was collected further down river from the Ba Tonka, where Ngoni people had settled.
Ba Tonka stools are normally oval as these two old examples.

This fine stool is inlayed with beads and what might be 1000 bits of copper wire.

The Kamba are neighbors of the Kikuyu and therefore had related stools.
On it's underside is found the most adorable creature in human form......
