These stools, often carved from wood, are designed to be used for practical purposes, but they are also elaborate works of art that embody the aesthetic and creativity of Luba culture.

These sculptures usually depict ancestors, chiefs, deities or other important figures from Luba mythology. The patterns and symbols used in the sculpture have deep cultural and spiritual significance.

These stools are used in ceremonial, ritual and social contexts within Luba society. They can be used as seats for chiefs and dignitaries during meetings and ceremonies, symbolizing status and power. Luba stools also play a role in religious rituals and divination, where they are used to honor ancestors and to communicate with the spirit world.
