Celestial Stool

28. The seat of this astonishing stool has delicate copper and tin work depictions of the sun, moon and stars, showing some  phases of the moon and a partial eclipse. There are also two stylised representations of mountains. The central circle is probably the sun (now missing) This reminds one strongly of the  “Nebra sky disc” 1800 – 1600 BC pictured here. 

 Uganda. Acholi? C1900. 

30cm tall and 28cm across the seat.
