About the Sculpture

This brass-covered wood chair from the Chokwe tribe in Congo-Zaire is a magnificent piece of furniture that holds great cultural and historical significance. This chair is considered royal furniture and is often associated with nobility.

The chair is expertly crafted using a combination of wood and brass. The frame of the chair is made from sturdy wood, providing a strong foundation. The seat is intricately covered with brass plates, which are meticulously hammered and engraved with elaborate patterns.

The brass covering of the chair is more than just decorative. It represents the wealth, power, and prestige of the Chokwe royalty. In Chokwe culture, this chair is reserved for royalty and high-ranking individuals. It is a symbol of authority, status, and leadership. When a noble sits on this chair, it signifies their position of power and serves as a visual representation of their royal lineage.

Owning such a chair is not only a testament to the Chokwe tribe's artistic traditions but also a connection to the royal history and traditions of Congo-Zaire.
