Carved from a heavy hard brown wood with a lovely worn rich patina this old Arsi stool has an animal-like appearance. The seat is slightly curved perched on top of a hollowed-out supporting base with four slightly splayed legs. The surface shows signs of extensive use with a rich worn patina where it has been handled and used.
