These striking stools are hand-carved from a piece of hardwood by the Tonga people, an ethnic Bantu group from Southern Zambia and neighboring Northern Zimbabwe.
This particular stool would have been designed with portability in mind as guests would take their own seating to weddings, funerals and ceremonies in neighbouring villages. This stool has a sturdy style and bears the authentic wear of regular use which is seen in their warm patina and shine.
Antique Rustic Carved/Handmade African Tonga Stool

Very good. As with all vintage, handmade, or antique pieces, you would expect general age-related wear and discrepancies such as dents, bumps to wood and aged patina.
