This is the rating and price for Ebira Stool, 1991

Description : NigeriaCf. Picton, J., On Artifact and Identity at The Niger-Benue Confluence, in African Arts, Vol. XXIV, 1991, no. 3, pp. 34-49, fig. 14, where the author publishes a 1996 in situ photograph he took in Adogo showing the pair to the present stool. The author describes it as the stool of a deceased elder in Adogo, manufactured locally in Ebira about 1920. He suggests the naked female figure with upraised arms, which is present in both stools, is possibly a schematized interpretation of the Akoko-Edo virgin. The figures of pipe-smoking men are emblematic of the authority of elders.
