Description
Somali art is deeply grounded in practicality, where functional objects also serve as expressions of culture. One notable example is the low, oblong stool, skillfully carved from hardwood by local craftsmen.
The stool is designed for women to use while cooking, reflecting both utility and tradition, with cultural norms discouraging men from sitting on it. The item is also easy to carry around for itinerant pastoralists.
Today, this once-essential piece of heritage is getting increasingly rare, gradually replaced by mass-produced plastic chairs.
