Descripción : African art. Dan ritual stool Liberia. Carved wood with dark patina. The two hemispherical ends visually isolate the central section carved as a naked female body between two stylized faces. The function of these ritual stools still remains rather mysterious although by some it is associated with the rite of circumcision. NOTE - for a comparative piece and for an appropriate description see: Sothebys, NY, 16 May 2013, lot 86.
