Stool / Tabouret

Created in Tanzania, possibly in the Kwere tribal area in eastern Tanzania. Carved from a single piece of wood, stools were associated with the leadership of a tribe or lineage and leaders were usually placed upon a stool as the final rite of leadership. This rite is called an enstoolment in the African countries. Traditionally, each person in a tribal area is entitled to have a stool carved at certain points in his/her life such as birth, puberty, marriage, giving birth etc. The higher ranked in the community the more decorated or elaborate the stool. 

Tabouret sculpté en Tanzanie, probablement dans la zone tribale des Kwere, dans l’est du pays. Sculptés dans une seule pièce de bois, les tabourets étaient associés au rôle dirigeant d’une tribu ou d’une lignée. Traditionnellement, chaque personne dans une zone tribale a droit à un tabouret sculpté pour marquer certaines étapes de la vie, comme la naissance, la puberté, le mariage ou  l’accouchement.
