CARIATID STOOL - Nigeria - Yoruba Late 19th – early 20th century. Wood, blue pigments, kaolin. Dimensions: 42 cm. A caryatid stool consisting of an upper seat supported by four figures arranged on a lower platform. Two bare-chested female figures, clad in long loincloths, hold their breasts—a symbolic gesture of fertility. The other two wear long tunics and hold an object in their hands. All four figures wear headdresses, and their skin is painted white (kaolin). This stool comes with a certificate attesting that the piece was collected by German missionaries before 1918.
