A low, hand-carved stool from the Dogon people of Mali, where everyday objects are made with the same gravity as ceremonial ones. Carved from a single piece of dense hardwood, the form is reductive and architectural: a compressed cylinder, faintly waisted, finished by hand rather than tool.

The surface carries the kind of soft, rubbed patina that only decades of use produce — the wood has gone the color of weathered stone in places, pale at the edges where hands and cloth have worn it smooth. Small chips and a tight age check or two are part of the record, not a fault.

Reads beautifully as a side table, plant stand, or small sculptural object beside a low chair. Substantial in person.

  • Dimensions: 8.5" diameter x 10"H
  • Material: Hand-carved hardwood
  • Origin: Dogon people, Mali, West Africa
  • Provenance: Ex Pace Primitive, New York; subsequently a private NYC collection, exhibited in a show of African furniture
  • Condition: Strong patina; age wear consistent with use
