- This incredibly aged stool like
object has tremendous presence. With four soulful ancestor
figures well defined in the iron hard wood the work is beautifully
weathered. According to the letter below, the object
was purchased from Chief Pouchoukou in French Sudan (Mali) in the
1940s. Still according to the letter, the figure was
exhibited in French, Spanish and other European museums over it's
lifetime.
