II. CLOZE
Some of the most splendid African stools and thrones were found in those parts of the continent where gold was mined. The
most famous of all was the Golden Stool of the Ashanti people who lived in West Africa.
At first glance, the polished wooden object doesn’t look like a stool. It appears to be a sculpture of an old woman, _32_ she
carries on her head. Her hands, twice as large as normal, emphasize __33_. But at second glance, one realizes that the old woman’s
load is a seat, and the structure is a very special kind of stool.
Carved from a single block of wood _34__, the stool is typical of those that were made for rulers of central African kingdoms. It
is actually a throne. It represents the African tribal chief’s power and authority, and __35_ has a symbolic meaning.
