BAMILEKE STOOLS
The traditional criss-cross pattern of these intricately carved stools are known as the "spider design" and are rooted deep in Cameroonian mythology. Because earth spiders live underground, they were seen as the link between the present world and the after-life and so were believed to have great wisdom.
These stools were used by Bamileke Kings during ceremonies and important meetings.

They usually have an approximate diameter of 60cm:
