The Senufo ethic group occupy a vast territory that covers the south of Mali, Burkina Faso and the north of Ivory Coast. Senufo people sometimes refer to themselves as the Siénas, meaning “those who work in the fields”. They are primarily farmers, growing millet, rice, corn, yams, cassava and tea. They became known early on for their artistic productions and the variety of their masks. Stools in African culture are intimate items generally passed down from generation to generation. Seats traditionally mark the social rank of its owner and are not to be lent under any circumstances. They are mostly carved out of shea wood.
