Ashanti stools, also known as Akan stools, are traditional seats crafted by the Ashanti people of Ghana, symbolizing authority, spiritual significance, and cultural heritage. These stools, often carved from a single block of wood, feature intricate designs and are seen as sacred objects imbued with the spirit of their owner.
The most notable example is the Golden Stool (Sika Dwa Kofi), which represents the soul of the Ashanti nation and embodies the unity of its people. Regular stools are used in daily life, but ceremonial ones, often reserved for chiefs or spiritual leaders, carry deeper social and ancestral importance, symbolizing leadership and continuity within Ashanti society.
