YORUBA, STOOLS ARCHIVES, Nigeria
Yoruba stools, like those of the Luba, related to kings and important
chiefs. They defined their power by the display of prestige objects during
important ceremonies. Stools were among the most important of these objects.
The ruler was literally as well as figuratively supported by a male or female
caryatid figure, which also symbolizes the continuity of power.
