Object description

"Kyandu", pl.: bi-. Stol för hövng. "Mfumu kyandu" eller "Kyandu kya Mfumu". Består av två delar a och b.

a.= trädklyka, ca: 71 cm lång, som försetts med två traverser. I den spalt som traverserna bildar insättes den U-formadet delen.

b.=två runda ben som förenats med en sittbräda. (Spikad med importerade spikar.) Stolen är alltså en "knock-down"-möbel.

Lägges samman på bördan på huvudet och tages ofta med på vandringen eller grannby-besöket.

Höljes med ett skinn, vars art ger stolen dignitet. I detta fall användes ett leopardskinn (Felis) ty ägaren var byälste och domare. (Vid fällande dom tog domaren skinnet och pliggade fast det på tegelväggen bakom stolen i tribunal-huset.) (katalogkort/originalbeskrivning)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
