Most Nupe are Muslim and their art is therefore abstract, with only some
stylized animals in relief on their doors and some pots. The stools come
in many forms yet are all carved from single blocks of wood. All share a
richly carved top surface.
This stool has all ten original decorated legs (the four on the front show
visible native repairs) and minor blemishes on the top surface including
a crack (now stable).
