Unique wooden foot of antique bed

Dimensions: 19x14xH74cm

Songay-Peulh bed legs are an intriguing example of functional art from the mid-southwest of Niger. These bed legs are practically designed to support the bed structure and elevate the sleeper slightly above the ground, but they also reflect craftsmanship and cultural expression. The carvings often found on these legs are evidence of a rich tradition of craftsmanship and artistic creativity. Each piece features unique patterns and motifs, which may have symbolic or cultural meanings. As a result, the legs are not only functional, but also a work of art that tells a story about the community and the time in which they were made. They are more than just furniture; they reflect the cultural identity and heritage of the Songay-Peulh community.
