To the Kwere tribe of Tanzania, finely carved, darkwood staffs were used as status symbols. Healers, shamans, warriors, and, in this case, chieftains, would carry them to display their power. Here, a man sits proudly in a high-backed, figurative stool reserved for the chieftain. From the highly-detailed carving at the top to the gracefully tapered shaft ending in a finished point, this staff displays a proud history as an eye-catching sculptural object.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
