Senufo stools are traditional, handmade stools and are an integral part of the Senufo people's cultural heritage, valued for both their aesthetic beauty and cultural significance. In traditional Senufo culture, they were used for a variety of purposes, including seating at important social and religious occasions, as a symbol of authority for important figures such as chiefs and elders, and as a means of storing personal belongings. Structurally, Senufo stools were typically made from a single piece of wood, often sourced from trees in the surrounding forest.
