Yoruba Bead Stool

Yoruba Beaded Stool – Throne of Prestige with Distorted Legs

This Yoruba beaded stool, crafted in southwestern Nigeria, represents the artistry and regal symbolism central to Yoruba culture. Adorned with vivid glass beadwork over a carved wooden frame, the stool embodies status, spiritual connection, and protection, traditionally used by chiefs and royalty during ceremonies and festivals.

The stool’s legs show distortion, either from long use, environmental conditions, or the natural challenges of working with hand-carved wood and beadwork over time. This irregularity does not diminish its cultural importance; rather, it adds to its story and authenticity, reflecting its journey and functional life within its community.

With its bright beadwork and sculptural presence, this Yoruba beaded stool remains a striking addition to your collection or interior, bringing the color, history, and spirit of African heritage into your space while honoring the lived history etched in its form.
