This nicely balanced, four-legged Kamba stool has a deep dish-shaped seat which culminates in a point on the underside of the seat - a distinct feature that is a symbol of fertility and often found in East African stools.
Prestige stools, such as this nice example, would have been proudly carried and sat upon by Kamba elders as visible signifiers of rank and importance.
