Tonga Stool | One
Approximately 7.9"H x 7.5" Diameter
Hand-carved from a single piece of wood, the Tonga Stool is a genuine artifact rich in cultural significance. Once a status symbol among the nomadic Tonga people of Zimbabwe, these stools were reserved for male elders as a mark of respect and leadership within the community.
Each piece is uniquely carved with individual lines, shapes, and patterns—making it not only beautiful, but also lightweight and easy to transport. Traditionally, only the head of the household could own and sit on a Tonga stool, with the design often revealing clues about the owner's identity and standing.
Despite its compact form (approximately 7.9 inches high by 7.5 inches in diameter), the stool offers surprising comfort for sitting, working, or ceremonial gatherings.
A striking piece of history and design, ideal as a sculptural accent or meaningful conversation starter.
