A sun face carved into solid Raintree, its rays fanning out to the edge of the seat in deep relief, picked out in yellow, orange and gold paint. The face at the centre is calm, eyes half-closed. Made in northern Thailand, where relief carving of this kind has been a village workshop trade for generations.
Heavy in the hand and low to the ground. The kind of small stool that ends up doing service as a side table or a plant stand as often as it gets sat on.
Each one is carved and painted by hand, so colour and detail vary slightly between pieces.
