Here is an old three legged stool that looks to have been well used. There is a shrinkage crack as seen in the last photo. The top is a bit shiny on the edges from handling and as can be seen in the second photo, there is quite a bit of wear on the last inch or so of the legs. It looks like this was used on a dirt floor that had a lot of red clay in it. From looking at this, it's easy to see where all the modern art sculptors of the 20th century got their inspiration. It was from a collection of African art in my mother's estate. I have no idea how old it is or which culture made it. It's a nice decorative whimsical ethnic sculpture. No major damage aside from the wear from use, it might make an interesting sculpture stand or display piece. It's about 7 1/4" tall and about 9" in diameter.
BY BIDDING ON THIS AUCTION, THE WINNER AGREES TO THESE TERMS:
All sales are final so please ask questions in a timely manner before bidding. No refunds. I am not an expert or a dealer, just trying to get rid of stuff. It's really neat old stuff but it aint perfect fer cryin' out loud. The wining bidder pays actual shipping cost, insurance is extra at the buyer's discretion. Remember, a "Fragile" stamp means "underhand throws only" to mail handlers. If you don't want to pay too much for the USPS's already exorbitant postage fees, please wait for an invoice to see what it will really cost since my crystal ball is out of order and I won't know what the postage will be until I know where it's going. I am always happy to combine items for shipping if I can safely squeeze it all into one box.
