Senufo Tribe Wooden Stool – These stools hold deep cultural significance in the Senufo tribe and are often crafted with exceptional skill and attention to detail. These stools typically feature elaborate geometric patterns, symbols, and motifs that reflect the tribe's cosmology, mythology, and social hierarchy. The design of Senufo stools often includes animal figures such as birds, serpents, or mythical creatures, as well as abstract symbols representing elements of nature and spiritual beliefs. Each element of the design holds symbolic meaning within the Senufo worldview. Senufo wooden stools play important roles in various cultural ceremonies and rituals, such as initiation rites, weddings, and funerals. They are often passed down through generations and are considered valuable family heirlooms.

 

About the Tribe

Senufo also spelled Senoufo, a group of closely related peoples residing primarily in the savannah regions in the Northern part of the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). They are also found in South-Eastern Mali and in Burkina Faso. They speak at least four distinct languages (Palaka, Dyimini, and Senari in Côte d’Ivoire and Suppire in Mali), which belong to the Gur branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Within each group, numerous subdivisions use their own names for the people and language; the name Senufo is of external origin.
