HEHE, STOOLS, Tanzania
Although the elegantly carved, three legged stools are considered everyday objects. Stools like those with high backs were originally carved for chiefs and are often referred to as chief's chairs, or thrones and were used during judicial and initiation ceremonies. They share their form with the neighboring Nyamwezi, Zoromo and other peoples.
