With a low seat supported by two splayed legs, this Lobi backrest from Burkina Faso exhibits a wonderful form with a long, reclining back support. Throughout, the surface of the piece has a deep, glossy patina.
Pieces such as this were also possibly used as stools and/or headrests (refer to ‘On The Trail of The Elephant’, p.193).
