Locally known as 'dua' or 'dwa', these low rise seats made by the Ashanti people are signifiers of social status and authority. The seats are carved from a single block of wood with an ornate base. The seat is given a crescent shape and a smooth, polished finish. Ashanti stools are beautifully sculptural, with evocative symbolism and unique, traditional design thought.
